A PC(USA) Statement on the Escalating War with Iran

Peacemaking

Sustained diplomacy, accountability and multilateral engagement are what’s needed

We are deeply troubled by the expanding military assault on Iran and the widening regional war it now threatens to become. As Christians shaped by the reconciling love of Jesus Christ, we grieve every life lost and every family now living in terror.

April Special Offering: Easter

Worship

Our Special Offering in April is the Easter Offering. Monies collected from this offering go into our church accounts to help pay for our regular expenses – staff salaries, materials for education programs, music for the choir, utilities, building repair and maintenance, office supplies, lawn care and snow removal, and all the other expenses related to doing work and ministry in our community. Please prayerfully consider giving to the Easter Offering as a way of saying thanks for the gift of life we have received through the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. These offerings are just one small way in which we can provide the financial support necessary for sharing the Good News of the Gospel with one another and with our neighbors near and far. Heartfelt thanks for your support.
