2024 Leap Year Mission Gift Challenge

The "task" is ongoing and more pressing as Leap Year 2024 draws to a close

and New Year 2025 approaches.

Currently presbytery member generosity has met 5% of our stated goal ...

17 donations of the 366 hoped for ...

Will you prayerfully consider joining the "group" and donating before the year ends?

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

Please use the "Combined Remittance Form", and indicate "Leap Year Gift Challenge"

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

Shepherd's Corner ...

with Ruling Elder Ted Fines

As many of you know, the presbytery's new shepherd hit the ground running and has been crisscrossing the presbytery. He will be at St. Andrews in Beulah this Sunday.

His visits with church staff and presbytery members allow him to listen and learn while the role of 'shepherd' takes form.

Watch for his inaugural post in a future newsletter!

The office will be closed as of 3pm

Wednesday, November 27, 2024

for the holiday weekend.

Wishing you and yours a blessed Thanksgiving!
