Back up and at ‘em this morning for our last plenary at 9 AM. First business is to pass our new per capital amount based on all the financial implications of actions the assembly passed earlier. We authorized about 16 new task forces and study groups, everyone of which costs money. We passed an amount of $8.95 for both 2019 and 2020. The amount we end up paying at our church has the costs of the presbytery and the synod added to that amount.
As part of the closing session, the YAADs presented financial gifts to each of the co-moderators and to the stated clerk. They took up a collection from all the YAADs and got enough to give $500 to projects dear to the hearts of each person, so that amounted to $1500 from their pockets. It was so touching and brought tears and big hugs.
The GA ended with another worship service, but I had to leave to catch a bus to the airport. So I leave St. Louis and a fantastic and life-changing experience at the General Assembly.
