“This congregation is extremely optimistic and excited about where the future is taking us.”

“We’re a small congregation that has some mighty warriors.”

Freedom Rising is offering two types of grants for ministries or programs serving African American males between the ages of 6-19 (or grades 1-12) in Allegheny County.

The theme for the Presbyterian Youth Triennium, which will run from July 16-20 at Purdue University in Indiana, is “Here’s My Heart.”

I’m looking forward to the week ahead and seeing how God is and will be working in the Presbyterian Church.

“When we think about our congregational life, how do we want to be able to live, preach the Gospel and do our mission in these kinds of times?”
