First Presbyterian Church Clarksdale Hosted Covenant Presbytery on May 19th.
“Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into His presence with singing!” -Psalm 100:2
Our church hosted a meeting of our Presbytery, ‘Covenant Presbytery’ on May 19th. (Presbytery is a meeting of the regional governing body of our Church made up of Pastors and Ruling Elders from Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee -there are about 50 churches in our Presbytery. To learn more about this important governing body of the PCA please click here.)
This is a Resolution of Thanks and Appreciation that was passed by the Presbytery to all who served in food preparation, food service, planning, organizing, cleaning, setting up, and cleaning up:
WHEREAS, First Presbyterian Church, Clarksdale, MS, has kindly volunteered to host the 167th Stated Meeting of Covenant Presbytery; AND
WHEREAS, they have gone above and beyond the expectations of a gracious host; AND
WHEREAS we have been blessed by their hospitality and encouraged by their spirit of generosity; AND
WHEREAS we have been faithfully served by those members of First Pres who sacrificially labored behind the scenes for us and provided that delicious lunch like manna from heaven that revived both body and soul; AND
WHEREAS we have been encouraged and challenged in our ministries through the preaching of the Word by TE Christopher Marks that we as the bride of Christ are to look with anticipation and great joy to the coming of the groom, even our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Covenant Presbytery give thanks to the Lord for His grace shown to us through First Presbyterian Church; AND
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we extend our thanks to TE Christopher Marks, as well as the Session, staff, and congregation of First Presbyterian Church; AND
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we pray the Lord’s grace and favor be upon this faithful body and for Him to continue to glorify Himself through this ministry. And that this resolution of thanks be spread upon the minutes of Covenant Presbytery.
Respectfully submitted,
TE Bill Berry

“All this is from GOd, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:18-19).
