Presbyterians Respond to Mid West Floods We have all seen the pictures of flooded farmland, mud filled homes, destroyed roads and other infrastructure across the Mid West in the wake of the massive “500 year” floods. As always in these cases we have two conflicting emotions: “I want to do something!” and “What can I possibly do in the face of such widespread suffering.” (6/19/2008)                   Hunger Action This Week Hunger Action this Week - July 4 (7/3/2008) Top Ten Honored Presbyteries of all sizes, and covering all parts of the country, were honored for their financial support of Presbyterian mission at the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s 218th General Assembly, meeting here June 21-28. Recognition of the “Top 10 Presbyteries in Giving” is a time-honored highlight of the denomination’s biennial gathering and recognizes presbyteries who have given the most in dollars, or in dollars per member, in several categories of giving.
