Be on the Lookout: Presbytery of Tampa Bay to Mail Postcards Inviting Congregations to Honduras Partnership Zoom Gathering

The Presbytery of Tampa Bay is excited to announce that postcards are being mailed this week to all congregations on behalf of the Commission on Church Vitality (CCV). Be on the lookout for these postcards arriving at your church! They serve as an invitation to an upcoming Presbytery-wide Zoom gathering focused on strengthening our mission partnership with the Presbytery of Honduras. We hope every congregation will send at least one representative to be part of this important conversation as we renew and deepen the partnership that began in 1995.
