Seeking Youth and Young Adults to serve on COR and other PNYC committees

Forwarded from Janet Pearson, Presbytery of New York City's Youth Coordinator --

Greetings in the Name of Christ:

I am forwarding to you an email from Elder Adolfo Griffith, Chair of the [New York City Presbytery's] Committee on Representation. Please circulate this information among the youth and young adults of your congregations. We desperately need representation within the Presbytery.

Also, please remind those that are in high school and entering college that this can count as community service and they will be given a recommendation upon request.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Elder Griffith or myself.

Be Blessed,
Janet Pearson (pearsonj8@aol.com)
Youth Coordinator

Dear Elder Janet Pearson:

The Committee on Representation is currently seeking youth and young adults to become members of their committee, as described in G-9.0105 of the Book of Order.

We realize how busy our youth and young adults are regarding their daily schedules. However, it is important that their voice be heard in order to provide vital and meaningful ministry to our youth and young adults as well as allowing them to provide ministry to others.

We are asking for names of persons who are eligible and willing to serve as committee members. When submitting names, please inform us if any of these persons serve as elders, deacons, or members-at-large.

The nominees should be prepared to serve full terms (3 years) and vacancies (unexpired terms - 1 or 2 years) that are currently open.

These names will be forwarded to the General Council Nominating Committee for review. If these persons are interested in serving on other committees as well, please indicate that to us so that we may forward the names to the Committee on Nominations for consideration.

Thank you very much for your assistance to encourage our youth and young adults to serve.

Sincerely, Elder Adolfo Griffith (adolfogriffith@yahoo.com)
Chair, Committee on Representation
