From the Pastor
Dear Friends,
A majority of the presbyteries of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A) have voted to amend our Book of Order in a way that opens ordination as Elders, Deacons, or Ministers of Word and Sacrament to all people regardless of sexual orientation.
Presbyterian Church USA daily Bible readings. You can sign up to have it ‘pushed’ to your e-mail box everyday, if you’d like.
