Presbyterian Disaster Hygiene Kits

The Presbyterian Women’s Circle invites the congregation to participate in donating components for the Presbyterian Disaster Hygiene Kits that are distributed to people in areas where a disaster has occurred. Rather than publishing the entire list, PW has selected several items that we will concentrate on, including:

Single washcloth

Single toothbrush (in original packaging)

Single bath size bar of soap (in original packaging)

Single travel size toothpaste (3.4 oz. or less, expiration date of at least one year.)

PLEASE DO NOT SUBSTITUTE. All items should be NEW. You may bring as many items as you please but be certain to follow the stated instructions.

There will be a box in the room off the narthex where you may put your donation. Please donate items no later than SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2025. PW will see that the donations are brought to Beulah Presbyterian Church, where the hygiene kits will be assembled.

Questions?? Contact Diana Stephen at dasky@bellsouth.net.

Nourish Our Future 

Thursday, October 30, 2025

8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Bread for the World is sponsoring Nourish Our Future: Seeds of Hope for Kentucky, a conference at South Frankfort Presbyterian Church, in Frankfort, Kentucky, on Thursday, October 30, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Why is eliminating hunger important from a faith perspective? How can we move forward with our goal in Kentucky? What is already being done in our state? How can we more effectively advocate for a just food system? These are some of the questions to be addressed at this event.

Participants will spend time discussing where we are now in the fight against hunger and why it is important to keep moving forward. There will be an opportunity to interact with legislators and policy leaders and learn how to use our voices effectively.

All are invited to attend and share information about the event with your friends and networks.
