Peace and Global
Witness
Peace & Global Witness is one of the four special
offerings of PCUSA, focusing on peace making and reconciliation, locally,
nationally, and globally. Quarter of this offering remains at our congregation
to support peacemaking efforts in our local communities. Another quarter goes
to the mid councils (Presbytery and Synod) for the peace-making works in the
wider region. Half of this offering goes to the Office of General Assembly for
the reconciliation and peacemaking nationally and globally. To contribute, you
may mark your offering cheque or envelope "PCUSA," "Peace,"
or "Witness."
These Days
The booklets of These Days, the daily devotional by PCUSA
are ready to pick up in the sanctuary. This new issue is October through

PPM News
PPM is fully in the swing of the new year. This past week we have
welcomed 3 new families and one new staff member and her daughter. Our
classes are bursting with excitement to say the least. Today we had our
first fire drill of the year, this always brings a lot of anxiety and
fear to the kids. The loud noise of the alarm, the fear of a real fire. I
would like to say that during these times is when I notice how truly
amazing our staff is with these kids. The calming voices and reassurance
everything will be ok. Today as we began this process that will occur once a month, I am also amazed by the kids after these fire drills
showing how proud and brave, they were... until next time.
Please continue to pray for our staff, children and
families. We appreciate everything the church does to
support us.
Blessings, Lori

be Liberace or Pavarotti, just someone who is willing to praise God
through music!
