More than 60 members and staff of at least eight churches in Eastern and Central Kentucky’s Presbytery of Transylvania gathered in the fellowship hall of First Presbyterian Church of Lexington late Sunday afternoon to fill large buckets with a plethora of supplies needed to begin recovery from a natural disaster like a hurricane or a flood.
For many of the participants at last week’s Shaping Our Story Conference, this was their first in-person gathering since the pandemic began 20 months ago.
William “Claude” Godwin, Jr., a pastor turned stewardship and communication development ministry unit director in the national office of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), passed away peacefully at the age of 79 on Tuesday.
