Pastor's Ponderings Page

Pastor's Ponderings Page This page is for the pastor of Simonsdale Presbyterian Church, Portsmouth, VA to relate with friends, members of the community, and the congregation.

This page is for Pastor Leigh Gillis to relate with church members and friends. I am excited to be on this faith journey with Simonsdale. On this page I will share comments and prayers about issues and activities at church and in the community and world. Inspirational ideas will be posted, as well as "heads up" about upcoming events. In such a challenging time, we need to support and pray for one

another at the very least, and be creative in our worship! Tell your friends to "like" this page! This is not a church's official web page or announcement conduit, but is meant to be an added way for me to connect with members and friends of Simonsdale. I look forward to our journey together!

This Sunday is a very special day here at Simonsdale and we need you! Please
be in prayer for our time together.
We will be joined by our General Presbyter Liza Hendricks and a team from Committee
on Ministry to explore our mission and ministry moving forward.
9:00 a.m. - gather upstairs for a light breakfast and conversation. Around 9:45 Liza will
begin leading us through a look at our past and how it points to our future.
11:00 - our regular worship time in the sanctuary on this first Sunday of Lent .
IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING: BRIEF congregational meeting to elect one additional elder
to fill our board. WE NEED YOU FOR A QUORUM.
Noon - Gather back upstairs for pizza lunch (along with Sondra's famous brownies!) and
small group discussion to finish articulating our ideas and inspirations.
IF YOU WISH TO ZOOM INTO ONE OR BOTH OF THE GROUP SESSIONS, PLEASE REPLY TO ME ASAP
AND I WILL SET UP ONE FOR 9 and ONE FOR NOON.
Hope to see you all on March 6!
