WORSHIP
The theme for worship, Supporting Pastors, was presented with the singing of praise, prayer and scripture. The Rev. Jim Kitchens, using the text Exodus 18:13-23, set the stage for the humorous skit on the welcoming of the new pastor. Following the scripture Matthew 11:28-30 the attendees divided into groups with directed discussion questions based on ways to support pastors. Following the group discussions the worship period concluded with the prayers of the people, using some of the prayers written in the small groups. The Moderator thanked the Worship Team made up of the Reverends Renee Rico, Jim Kitchens, Mary Lynn Tobin, Jeffrey Cochran-Carney, Cynthia Cochran-Carney; and Elders Kathy Trott and Bob Justman, who planned and conducted this most effective worship.

ANNOUNCEMENTS and BLESSING
The Rev. Joanne Hines spoke to the passion for spreading the word in our Presbytery through New Church Development. She introduced the Rev. David Williams, pastor of New Song Presbyterian Church. New Song will have their first public worship on October 1, 2000 at Rocklin High School. He explained the extensive work that has taken place to generate attendance on the occasion of this first service. The cost of using the Rocklin High School facilities will be $3000 a month plus additional costs for more rooms. Financial help would be most welcome. The Moderator called for those persons involved with David and New Song to come forward for laying on of hands and a prayer of support for this New Church Development.
