The Presbytery’s Pentecost CANpaign is underway! This CANpaign is designed to combat hunger. From June 9 to July 28, your church can collect cans of food (or money) to give to your local hunger program. All the food or money collected goes to the organization your church chooses. Each dollar given counts as 2 cans of food.
Presbytery asks that your church
fill out the attached form
, to tell us how much your church gave and where you donated the proceeds. We will need the results of your church’s Canpaign by August 5. We will recognize the top giving churches at the August 15 Presbytery meeting.
