Rev. Chris White’s letter to all Norwood clergy

Several days ago, Rev. Chris White, pastor of the Norwood Presbyterian Church, emailed us the following letter to share with our readers. We greatly appreciate her wanting all of us to know about the momentous gathering of Norwood clergy coming up later this month. We wish them much success on this groundbreaking endeavor.

TO THE CLERGY OF ALL THE CHURCHES IN NORWOOD, OHIO

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

You are invited to attend a luncheon gathering of Norwood clergy on Wednesday, January 23, 2008 at 11:30 AM. Space has been reserved for us in Buffalo Wings and Rings, the new restaurant located in the Quality Hotel.

The pastors from Norwood’s Disciples of Christ, Presbyterian, United Church of Christ and Wesleyan Churches have already met and would like to widen this circle to include YOU! We’re hoping to develop a network of community clergy who are willing to find common ground in Jesus Christ that goes beyond theological differences.

We have begun a dialogue with the Norwood High School regarding the possibility of re-establishing a baccalaureate service for Norwood’s graduating students. We hope you will come and add your wisdom to our discussion.

Kindly RSVP to the church office via phone (513) 531-1546 or email norwood.pres@presbynet.org

Thank you and may God continue to bless you and your ministry!

Shalom,

The Rev. Chris White
