Come to the Table 2023 | Sunday Worship Leader
Sunday Worship Leader :
Rev. Scott Williams
First and foremost, Rev. Williams, or Pastor Scott as he is called, loves the Lord. He loves the Word of God. He is passionate about people coming to know God in a real and intimate way. A natural jokester, he believes that Christians must enjoy rather than endure their salvation. Secondly, Pastor Scott loves his family. He has been married to his lovely wife Donnette for over 31 years. Their lives have been greatly enriched by their two children Samuel and Jessica. Thirdly, Pastor Scott loves people. He’s fascinated by human developmental stages and has personally mentored a number of people – adults and children alike. He’s particularly drawn to people whom others hesitate to approach. Pastor Scott also loves the church. He joyfully serves as the senior pastor of Memorial Presbyterian Church and looks forward to God’s plans unfolding here. Lastly, Pastor Scott loves learning. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree from Nyack College, he also earned a Master of Arts degree from Seton Hall University and a Master of Divinity degree from New Brunswick Theological Seminary. He’s currently writing his dissertation to complete his Executive EdD at Seton Hall University. But Pastor Scott believes that education, though important, is no substitute for the power that comes from God’s anointing.
Registration is now open for Come to the Table scheduled for October 20 – October 22. We will begin at 5:00 p.m. on Friday with dinner and end at 12 noon on Sunday with worship. Please note that each person is required to register individually. If you wish to share a room with someone, you should include that person’s name on your registration form and vice versa. Single or double occupancy rooms with a private bath are available on a first come, first served basis. We are delighted to announce that the Synod is providing a subsidized registration fee of $225. This includes each person’s lodging and all meals except for Sunday lunch. If you wish to stay for Sunday lunch, there is an additional $15 fee.
For Ministers of the Word and Sacrament to feel free to attend Come to the Table and remain through Sunday, the Synod will livestream the worship service from Silver Bay on Sunday. This will allow congregations to worship even if their pastor is at Come to the Table. This weekend is always beautiful at Silver Bay with the trees in full fall colors. We hope to see you there.
