Books for Young Children in Malawi
Children in developing countries have little access to books which they love. The STAIR (Start the Adventure in Reading) program at SCAPC donated approximately 250 books to be brought to Malawi by two medical missionaries, Drs. Brigid O'Brien and Jacob Todd, husband and wife, and former pediatric infectious diseases students of Dr. Russell Steele at Tulane Medical School. Pictured are Dr. O'Brien, Dr. Todd, their two-year old son Blaise, David Grissett, chairman of the Global Ministry Committee, and Dr. Russell Steele, member of the Global Ministry Committee.

Raintree Day of Service
The May 18th rain did not stop the joy of making bracelets and playing BINGO at Raintree Children and Family Services. SCAPC Community Ministry Committee and Presbyterian Women joined together to sponsor a field day of fun, staged inside. The weather brightened just in time to grill hamburgers and hot dogs followed by cake and ice cream. Smiling from a successful event are SCAPC members (from top): Karen Donaldson, Kathy Randall, Ann Van Horn, Lorrie Powel, Nancy Jane Carson, Sheila Schwartzmann, Sarah Chancellor-Watson, Greg Beuerman and Lee Randall.

Ordination of Ashley Brown
Last Sunday, SCAPC's own Pastoral Resident, Ashley Brown, was ordained by members of the Presbytery of South Louisiana as Minister of the Word and Sacrament! Led by pastor friends from near and far, the service included a statement and prayer of ordination, laying on of hands by fellow elders, signing of the Book of Obligations, and a presentation of stoles. The service culminated in Ashley's officiating communion. Ashley incorporated a celebration of Pentecost by encouraging participants to don red accoutrements, making for a colorful and joyful service. Presbyterian Women entertained afterwards with a reception in Frampton Fellowship Hall.
