Moderators and Moderators-Elect of presbyteries and synods are invited to Louisville November 21-23 for the 2019 Moderators’ Conference. This is a great opportunity to connect with peers in similar positions, General Assembly staff, and GA223 Co-Moderators Cindy Kohlmann and Vilmarie Cintrón-Olivieri. Except for a visit to the Presbyterian Center on Friday morning, the conference will be held at The Brown Hotel, 335 West Broadway in downtown Louisville, Kentucky.
Beginning with a reception (heavy hors d’oeuvres) on Thursday evening, November 21, the event will feature information about parliamentary procedure and worship responsibilities among other relevant topics, worship with the Co-Moderators preaching, and a variety of workshops. The formal program concludes late Saturday afternoon, but we will announce entertainment and worship opportunities on Saturday evening and Sunday morning.
