You may have heard that “listening conversations” are happening this spring in the church’s committee and group meetings. The Session is inviting members to share their thoughts about what we as a church are doing well, where we’re being called to grow and change, and what our leaders should consider as we plan for the future. If you have not been included in one of these conversations, we encourage you to attend an open group in the Lounge on Sunday, May 20^th immediately after worship. Or, offer comments and suggestions here.

To put this in context, here is our church Mission Statement: The Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville is a welcoming community, called by God to be followers of Jesus Christ, fed by the Word of God, and sent by the Spirit into the world to live lives of stewardship and service.

The goals

1. Provide congregation members a meaningful opportunity to express their enthusiasms, concerns and suggestions.
2. Provide church leaders with thoughtful answers to the above questions from a large number of diverse church members, for use in planning for the future.

How does our faith in Jesus Christ inform our social witness within our communities? Revive! 2012 is a justice revival that will seek to address that question through spirit-filled preaching, uplifting gospel music (including the Trenton Children’s Chorus), dance and small group conversation. Preachers include Darrell Armstrong, Melinda Contreras-Byrd, Paul Jeanes, David Rojas and Simeon Spencer. For more information, and to get tickets, please visit the Revive 2012 website.

Fast forward to early 2012, and folks began to imagine a new tree in the north graveyard near the spot where the old beech stood.  Through a combined effort of congregation members and Main Street volunteers, a plan took “root.”  Our church members Kris Deni and Rich Levandowski decided to donate a new tree that would be a memorial to Kris’s daughter, Leah, who died in December 2004.  According to Kris, when Leah was a child, she was always climbing one tree or another and, in her 20’s, became an ardent defender of the environment.  This tree would be a wonderful tribute to her.  So Kris, with help from others, chose a new tree—a copper beech—to take the place of the fallen tree, and it was planted a few weeks ago.

On Sunday, April 29, at noon, the town and the church will gather together in the north graveyard to commemorate the new tree during the Lawrenceville Main Street Jubilee celebration that runs from 12-5 p.m. that day.  At that time, folks will be able to buy pieces of the old beech in the form of cheese and bread boards, priced from $20-$40, which have been first-cut by Willard Brothers.  The Men’s Group of the church will sand and oil them, as well as brand the bottom with a commemorative stamp.  The proceeds from the sale will help offset the cost of removing the old beech tree and the milling of the wood.   We hope you can join us that day.
