Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) urges your support this hurricane season. In the wake of catastrophic impacts from Hurricane Ian, recovery is ongoing in places hit by Hurricane Fiona, including Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Cuba. Storms are becoming more frequent and more severe, and this early in the hurricane season we must prepare for these broad and anticipated catastrophes that have not yet formed. Financial support for relief efforts can be designated to DR000194, which supports the church’s response to hurricanes and typhoons. Gifts can be made online (click the button below), by phone at (800) 872-3283, or by check made payable to Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) with "DR000194" written on the memo line and mailed to: Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), P.O. Box 643700, Pittsburgh, PA 15264-3700.

There is still time to catch up on the summer reading with Witherspoon & Nassau. Join for a conversation on This Here Flesh by Cole Arthur Riley. We will gather on zoom to discuss the power of stories toward liberation. Please RSVP to receive the zoom link for November 9.

The book received a starred (and glowing) review in Library Journal, one of the review sources the Princeton Public Library uses to select books for its collection.

To be Presbyterian is to join a way of life informed by a sacred rhythm: God calls us in grace and love; we respond in gratitude. Come explore church membership this Sunday morning October 16, 2022, 9:30 AM in the Conference Room (1st floor).

The Adult Choir and soloists, accompanied by harp, violin, and organ, will present Gabriel Fauré’s luminous choral masterpiece, Requiem, in an evening service of worship on Saturday, October 22, at 5:00 p.m. Through song and prayer, we will be placing lives present and past in God’s hands in the hope of everlasting light. Join us in person or livestream at this very special choral evening service. The Art of Faithfulness is a new ministry that joins together our lives of faith with a wide range of creative arts. Watch for more opportunities throughout the year.
