We will not be doing a special collection for ProjectSHARE in December.

As we learned from Pastor Brian Peterson on Sunday, November 25, one of our sister churches - Ridge Presbyterian Church in Paradise, California - suffered devastating losses from the wild fire in the area. Most of the town was destroyed, including their church and the homes of 100% of their congregation, including both pastors - Josh Lee and Bryan Laws. Our denomination's Mission To North America Disaster Relief will be collecting donations to help this congregation. You can donate directly by going to their website at pcamna.org/disaster-response. Please be in prayer for this church and for the community.
