Here we go
Just in time for the General Assembly, PNNews.org welcomes the launch of three new neighborhod editions.
Hurricane's punch not as potent as feared but extent of the destruction is still unknown.
The interior of Baker (La.) Presbyterian Church sustained damage after Hurricane Gustav peeled the metal roof from the building exposing it to the elements. Donations to help this congregation should be made out to Presbytery of South Louisiana (memo: Baker Presbyterian), 12909 Old Hammond Highway, Baton Rouge, LA 70816.
Presbyterian leaders and volunteers are sending PNNews.org eyewitness reports of the damage caused by Hurricane Gustav.
LIVING WATERS SHORTS
World Alliance of Reformed Churches issues Special Invitation to Prayer for this Sunday.
Jody Harrington, moderator of New Covenant Presbytery and Jeff Conway, pastor of Westminster, Amarillo, speak urgently as others listen intently as small groups process the 2008 General Assembly's action during the "Next Steps" event hosted in early August by the Synod of the Sun. Fifty people gathered from 11 presbyteries at the Presbyterian Mission Center in Irving, Texas.
While General Assembly (GA) topics like ordination standards, confessions of faith and form of government get a lot of attention, the proverbial elephant in the living room is denominational relevance, according to many who gathered at a synod event Aug. 11-12, called “Next Steps.”
In San Antonio, some Methodist and Presbyterian congregations join Baptist congregations to support the work at the
"Medical Special Needs" shelter for huricane evacuees. The shelter is run by Baptist Child & Family Services. Meals for multiple shelters are prepared in the kitchen of Trinity Baptist Church Tri-Points facility with the help of the disaster relief ministry of Texas Baptist Men.
