About this event
Topic: “Send Me”—Seven Years of Willingness Speaker: Peter Buss, Jr., Executive Bishop of the General Church Invitation from Bishop Buss: Hello, Bryn Athyn Church. I get to present to you at the Community Supper about a vision for the General Church that we’re calling “Send Me—Seven Years of Willingness.” Based on the call of Isaiah, during which he issued the famous response, “Here I am! Send me,” (Isaiah 6:8), this vision is a way of encapsulating the essence of the New Church faith and what the Lord calls to us to do in response to His new revelation. I’ve had the opportunity to present on this vision around the church on an organizational level and also about how it applies to individuals; this is my opportunity to do that with you. During the presentation, I hope to personalize this vision by inviting you to outline the next chapter of your book of life, within which you commit to a specific way of saying to the Lord, “Here I am, send me.” This is a subject I’m passionate about. I hope you will come.” About the Speaker: Peter Buss, Jr. currently serves as Executive Bishop of the General Church and Chancellor of the Academy of the New Church. He has served as pastor of the Glenview New Church and School, and before that in assistant roles in Glenview and Mitchellville. He considers himself blessed to share life with his wife, Teresa, four grown children, and two grandchildren. One passion of his is connecting with people, especially around the cause of the New Church. Please feel free to reach out to him to connect – peter.buss.jr@newchurch.org . VOLUNTEER FAIR: After Bishop Buss’ presentation, you will have the opportunity to learn about various ways you can volunteer for Bryn Athyn Church. Feel free to walk around and learn about ushering, acting in Christmas tableaux, Pay-It-Forward Crew, and many other uses to get involved.
