A tod@s los Pastor@s de la Conferencia Anual California-Pacifico.

Pastores en conversación alrededor de la “Mesa de Gracia”

“Una conversación en español alrededor de la mesa… acompañada con oración y apoyo”

Estimad@ consierv@,

Tenemos una gran responsabilidad en el ministerio. Pocas profesiones requieren la amplia gama de conocimientos y habilidades que nuestro ministerio de pastores demanda. Además, durante este tiempo nos hemos visto con la necesidad de adquirir nuevas habilidades y crear nuevas avenidas para desarrollar nuestros ministerios. Todo esto puede ser más de lo que podamos soportar en la presente situación de la pandemia y en la cual nos podemos sentir que estamos solos en el ministerio.

Les invitamos a una conversación alrededor de la “Mesa de Gracia” (en español) en donde considerando nuestro mutuo voto de servicio y respondiendo a nuestro llamado pastoral, compartiremos la comida, las Escrituras, tiempo de reflexión y oraciones.

Para participar de esta mesa no requiere inscribirse o un compromiso constante, puede participar cuando pueda o cuando lo necesite. Puede participar ocasionalmente o tanto como pueda y quiera. Esta abierto para todos los pastores y esta “Mesa de Gracia” será en español.

La primera reunión será via Zoom el cinco de Mayo a las 12 PM (mediodía). Realmente esperamos que lo intenten y que a través de las Escrituras que compartamos, la meditación en la Palabra, y la oración, podamos proveernos mutuamente de apoyo y animo a la mitad de cada semana.

En el amor de Cristo,

The Orders Executive Committee (Comite Ejecutivo Pastoral Ordenado)

Nota: Existen dos grupos en Ingles que vienen teniendo su “Table of Grace” desde hace más de un año.

“Orders” es el comité conferencial que apoya y vela por la salud espiritual y otros aspectos de todos los pastores de la conferencia.
