2024 Leap Year Mission Gift Challenge

To date, we have received 2 gifts ...

only 364 more to reach our goal of

366 special offerings

of up to $366 each

to help support Presbytery Missions.

Why should I give?

Missions have been underfunded, which resulted in a $17,000 cut to Missions for 2024.

Your gifts will help fund missions in the future.

When using the "Combined Remittance Form", please indicate "Leap Year Gift Challenge"

on line 4, under the heading of "Other Giving".

CRE/CLP Education Retreat 2024

Highlights and Comments

Looking for 'something' more ...

"My name is Julie Dowty and I have been a CP/CRE since 2011. I was part of the schooling formally known as the 3LLA (Three Lakes Lay Academy) under the direct leadership of David Van Dam.

Today I am the new Administrator of this program, now known as CRE/CLP Education. To say that this program changed the whole trajectory of my ministry is an understatement.

Our Zoom instruction and yearly in person retreat allow us to stay connected and share our experiences and hopes with one another. Quite literally we become a family, encouraging one another while caring for one another.

If this sounds like something that you feel called to please feel free to email me with your questions or comments at bcpcce@yahoo.com.

Our schooling rotates and a new cycle will begin in the Winter of 2025."

Updated courses and registration for Fall 2024 will be available in late summer 2024.

Please watch for information in future newsletters and online at www.presbymac.org

Thank you for your many kind expressions

of sympathy and prayers! ~Alana
