The Blog: Pressing Interest

We will soon have a blog, an exciting and new blog. Many presbyteries do not yet have one, but we know it is a soon-to-be essential in modern communication, and that day is near.

Our blog is named, Pressing Interest.

Anyone in our Presbytery may author an article or post an item of interest to others simply by submitting the article or item to our Communications Administrator. Once approved, the submission will be posted to the Blog. Comments and responses are currently limited to members of our Presbytery. You simply follow the instructions in the “comment” box at the end of the article.

Anyone may access and read the blog articles, whether a member of our Presbytery or not. If a non member wishes to respond to or comment on a posted item, we invite you to submit your comment to our CA by filling out the submission box found on our  “Contact Us” page. We anticipate being able to celebrate the publishing of anyone’s response or comment.
