The Presbytery of the Twin Cities Area is entitled to send 4 elder commissioners, 4 minister commissioners and a young adult advisory delegate (age 17-23) to the General Assembly, which will be held in Minneapolis,  July 3-10, 2010.  The Nominating Committee is now accepting applications from elders, ministers or young adult members of our congregations who are interested in serving in these positions.  Election will be at the January 2010 meeting of presbytery.
 
To be considered for nomination by the Nominating Committee, persons must complete an application form with a letter of recommendation from a session, presbytery entity, or minister member of the presbytery, and return it to the presbytery office by December 3rd.  Forms are available at ptcaweb.org , in hard copy from the presbytery office or directly below.
 
Ordinarily, elders and ministers are eligible to be nominated by the Nominating Committee three years after ordination and with two years of membership in the presbytery or one of its churches.  Elders and ministers who have served as commissioners to the General Assembly shall ordinarily be again eligible for nomination by the Nominating Committee after fourteen years.
 
Interested elders from all congregations are encouraged to apply.
