Rev Dr. Susan R. Andrews, Moderator of 215th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, USA to preach at Old First Church, Huntington. NY 11743 on OCTOBER 5, 10.00am followed by talk and discussion. 

The 215th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) elected the Rev. Dr. Susan R. Andrews as Moderator of the 2.5 million member denomination. Clearly, Andrews call to a season of growth – in gratitude, membership, and mission – struck a responsive chord with the 548 commissioners at the meeting in Denver. On the first ballot, Andrews received 46%. On the second ballot, she received a clear majority of 53%. The two other candidates, the Rev. Harold Kurtz and the Rev. James Reese received 35% and 13% of the vote, respectively.

Andrews, pastor of 700 member Bradley Hills Presbyterian church in Bethesda, MD, is the first woman pastor serving a congregation ever elected to lead the PC (USA). In her address to the General Assembly, she recounted how her congregation has grown steadily over the past 14 years. She called others to faithful growth, as well. Andrews passionately challenged the denomination to serve mission fields across the ocean and those often less obvious ones “in the board rooms, courtrooms, living rooms, and classrooms” of our own country.

Please join us, on Sunday, October 5 at 10.00am to hear Susan and ask questions.
