Meet Our Mission Co-Worker

Next Sunday, June 5, during the Sunday School hour, we welcome the Rev. Elmarie Parker for her presentation "The Shape of Hope in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon." Rev. Parker serves as a Presbyterian Church (USA) Associate for Ecumenical Partnerships in the role of Regional Liaison to Church Partners in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. She will lead a discussion regarding current conditions in the region where they work and live, along with how these conditions (including ISIS) are impacting PC(USA) Partners and their continuing work of worship and ministry. Bring your questions and come ready to hear the witness received firsthand from local church leaders on the ground in these areas of conflict and chaos. Location: Vance Barron Hall.

Takeout Church Boxes
As we turn our thoughts toward summer, we may find ourselves out of town on a Sunday morning and throughout the week. Takeout Church Boxes (white pizza boxes) are available in the narthex and by the Henderson Street door for families with children who are three-years-old through fifth grade.
Boxes include activities that can be used for faith formation throughout the summer, wherever you may be. Store the box under a seat in your car so that you can easily find it on vacation or when you need some rainy day activities. May the activities found in the box be meaningful and fun ways for you to explore and experience God's love this summer. One box per family, please.
For questions, contact Nancy Myer, Staff Associate for Children's Ministries, at
[email protected].
