April 2025 Presbytery Leadership Council Update
The Leadership Council of the Presbytery of Des Moines met via Zoom on April 9. In addition to usual “meeting things” such as approving/correcting minutes and adjusting the agenda, this meeting included reports from the three executives and from members of the council in relationship to the committee/commission they represent. Also shared were calendar highlights, e.g., dates of the All-Iowa Presbyterian Gathering—August 23 and the 2026 General Assembly in Milwaukee—June 22-24 online (committee work) and June 27-July 2 in person.
One focus of the meeting’s conversation was the upcoming Presbytery meeting that will take place in Corning on May 20th. The proposed docket for that meeting was discussed and adjusted. It was decided that the meeting’s offering would be directed to the Presbytery’s Harvest Offering program through which it could be used to help a variety of projects related to rural areas and those living there.
Other items discussed included Zoom workshops on compassionate church closures, the most recent Presbytery budget statements, the General Assembly Commissioner election process, and various current events. The meeting had a time of prayer. The next Leadership Council meeting is scheduled for May 14.
