We will conclude VBS at 8:00 p.m. On Friday, August 11th, there will be no supper. We will begin at 6:00 p.m. Please complete a registration form for each child that will be attending. Since we are having supper, we need to know how many children we will have so that we prepare enough food. Also, we will need to know if there are any allergies or food restrictions. Please contact us at (314) 427-0841 or newhorizonspcusa@sbcglobal.net for additional information or to request a registration form. We look forward to having your children join us!

The Jesus & Justice Advocacy Conference will be Oct. 20-22 at the Presbyterian Center, near Waterfront Park, and will be replicated across the country over the next few years. The first one is mainly intended for people who live in the Louisville-Southern Indiana area or within a short drive, but there also will be ways to participate in some sessions remotely.

“A primary goal is to connect with young adults who are interested in justice advocacy, especially those who want to engage from a faith perspective,” said the Rev. Jimmie Hawkins, who leads the Presbyterian Office of Public Witness and the Presbyterian Ministry at the United Nations. “There are those who want to do more, to make a difference, but are unsure how to begin and the intricacies of networking and coalition building.”

The Association of Partners in Christian Education (APCE) will hold its 2024 Annual Event in St. Louis from January 24th through January 27th at St. Louis Union Station. That's right! APCE AE is coming to ST. LOUIS, and we are SO EXCITED! The Local Committee has been working on this event for the past year, and now we are reaching out to you to ask for your help. We will need volunteers -- LOTS of them -- to provide hospitality to our colleagues in ministry during that week. Right now, we just need to know that you have marked your calendars and that you're willing to be of service. In the fall, we will ask about your availability during the week and your preferences regarding tasks. Please email Julie Gvillo (juliegvillo.aplaceofgrace@gmail.com) and Pat Cleeland (patricia.cleeland@gmail.com) together, so we can start compiling a list of resources. Pastors, please put this announcement in your bulletins. This international event is a huge undertaking, and we are counting on the presbytery to help us deliver! Thank you!

There are many ministry team positions available in the coming year, and we just know you would be a good fit for a committee or commission
