Ministry and Mission in Shenango Presbytery
Mark Your Calendars Now for the 2nd Annual Celebrate Sudan Event!
The 2nd annual “Celebrate Sudan” event will be held on World Communion Sunday, October 7th, 7PM, at East Main Presbyterian Church, Grove City. This will be an exciting time for all the churches in Shenango Presbytery to come together, worship God, and Celebrate our Partnership with the Sudan Presbyterian EvangelicalChurch.
The special offerings collected this year will be used to assist Gereif Bible School in recovering from the destruction experienced on their campus when it was ransacked by Muslim extremists this spring. We encourage churches to take up this offering at their Wrold Communion Sunday worship services.
Mark your calendars and join us for a time of music, fellowship, ands authentic Sudanese food. Rev. Steve and Brenda Stelle from Faith Presbyterian Chuch in Hermitage, recent first time visitors toSudan, will be sharing about their visit and it’s impact on their lives and church.
Pastors and all session moderators, please ask you sessions soon for permission to take up a special “CelebrateSudan” offering. Over $20,000 was raised in our first two “CelebrateSudan” events.
