 Greetings to All our Presbyterian Churches!

September 21, 2014 we will be celebrating International Day of Peace where we can pray for people around the world that we know are suffering and less fortunate.  Those attending the Philadelphia Presbyterian Women Fall Gathering can bring stories or souvenirs from their celebrations to share with others.

Human trafficking information update: The Senate Bill 75 was passed unanimously on the senate floor, now we are awaiting Governor Corbett to sign it.  Then we must still continue to push to change public perception of the traffickers and the victims.

Now when you travel the Pennsylvania turnpike in the rest stops you can locate pictures of missing children and telephone number listing to call if you see something suspicious in your traveling. (1-888-373-7888)
