Prayer for Group Going to the Sudan

Three Sudanese leaders (Tut, Ismail and Alizabeth) spent time with us this past fall. We heard of the huge challenges faced by the Sudanese church in both the Sudan (north) and the new Republic of the South Sudan. Steve and Brenda Stelle (Faith Church), Dave Dawson, and Sylvia Carlson (Redstone Presbytery) will join Michael Weller (Regional Liason) who will come from Ethiopia for a visit in Khartoum during the first week of March. Please pray for the visit of “presence” with Sudanese sisters and brothers.

Review of Ministerial Ethics

We need to pause occasionally and reflect on the ethical issues that we face everyday. There will be an opportunity to do that in cooperation with Pittsburgh Presbytery. Issues like boundaries, confidentiality, safety for children and youth, finances, etc. will be considered.
