Ongoing Opportunities for Spiritual Growth and
Missional Outreach...
Presbyterian Pilgrimage (formerly Presbyterian Cursillo) is a three-day weekend
spiritual renewal event designed to foster and support an individual's long term commitment
to living the Christian life. Led by lay members and clergy of the Presbyterian Church,
its purpose is to inspire, challenge and equip church members for Christian action
in their homes,churches and communities. In a thought-provoking, relaxing and fun-filled
environment, participants enjoy fellowship with other Christians and leave with a desire
to serve productively and live boldly for Christ. For more information, click here:

Put your old laptop to work for the Kingdom.
If you are planning to purchase a new laptop computer now or in the near future,
please consider how your old laptop can be used to further the work of the Kingdom.
Catherine Rundle (daughter of members Jim and Anne Beall) and her husband and family
are missionaries living in inner-city Los Angeles where they work with the poor,
at-risk, and homeless. Part of their ministry is to help people develop micro-businesses
(e.g. buying books at library sales, garage sales and thrift stores and then reselling them
on Amazon and other online markets) as a simple, almost risk free way
to supplement their often meager wages. Catherine would like to acquire
6-10 gently used laptops that might otherwise find their way to the dumpster.
If you'd like to help, contact Pastor David through the church office (392.1144).
You can learn more about the ministry with which Catherine is involved at

Family Link is looking for mentors for children in foster care.
As a mentor you have the opportunity to be a role model for a child by spending time
doing fun activities, helping with homework, teaching life skills and being a positive
person in their life. Call 512.233.6464 for more information.
