Information on display space available at presbytery meetings

Requesting display space:

New Covenant Presbytery has four stated presbytery meetings per year. At each meeting, space is provided for displays and information tables. These opportunities are open to organizations related to the Presbyterian Church, presbytery committees, presbytery divisions, and outside organizations supported by the churches of the presbytery.

The Ecclesiastical Affairs Committee suggests in order for your display to garner the interest you desire, that you exhibit at only two of the four annual meetings (one Tuesday and one Saturday). The committee believes that self-limiting the number of meetings at which you provide a table will give better impact and give the commissioners a fresher visual impression.

Next Meeting:
Saturday, August 25, 2007 - ChristChurch Presbyterian in Bellaire

Call or e-mail Janice Schessler to begin the process of requesting space. Her telephone number at the Presbytery Center is 713/526-2585, extension 209 (or 1/800/444-1278, extension 209) and her e-mail address is jschesler@pbyofnewcovenant.org.

Basic rules:

The number of approved display tables will be limited to the space and tables that the host church has available. Display space will be awarded in the order that requests are received.
Requests must be submitted in WRITING using the paper form available from Janice Schessler or the eform available on this website.
The deadline for receipt of a request is one week before the date of the presbytery meeting. This is necessary to give the church time to provide the space and to make all the final arrangements with the custodial staff for placement of tables.
The stated clerk and/or the Ecclesiastical Affairs Committee must approve each request. Once the request is approved, the REQUESTOR will receive a copy of the signed form and a second copy will be sent to the host church.

On the day of the presbytery meeting, the REQUESTOR must have in hand the Display Request form which has been approved by a representative of the Ecclesiastical Affairs Committee or the Stated Clerk.
At the meeting site, the host church will assign tables by attaching copies of display requests to them. To find your table, match your copy of the request form to the church’s copy.

Please note that the host church only provides space. All extension cords, plug adapters, display racks, bulletin boards, and whatever else may be needed are to be supplied by the requestor. If you need an electrical plug near your table, please identify in the section titled “Nature of Request.”

Note: Our hosts have graciously provided display space for our presbytery meeting. Please be a gracious guest. Please do not switch tables with another person or ministry without their consent. Please do not move your table from the location determined by our hosts. Ministries or organizations which do not observe these basic courtesies may be denied display space at future meetings. Thank you for your cooperation.
