June First Sunday Mission Offering Our First Sunday Mission Offering in June goes to Presbyterian Disaster

Assistance, the emergency relief program of the PCUSA. We never know

when or where a disaster may strike. But thanks to your gi1s, Presbyter-

ian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is ready and able to respond. In the last few months

alone, PDA has offered assistance and support to the survivors of the mudslide in

Washington State, tornadoes in the South and Midwest, and the recent mass shoo+ng

in California. Working with Presbyteries, other church denomina+ons, mission part-

ners, and relief organiza+ons, PDA helps provide physical aid such as food and shelter,

as well as spiritual support.

We can help put Christ’s love into ac+on by making a dona+on. Simply mark your en-

velope “Presbyterian Disaster Assistance” or write a check with “Presbyterian Disaster

Assistance” on the memo line. Thank you!

July First Sunday Mission Offering

Our First Sunday Mission Offering in July goes to the McKee Memorial Fund. In recent years, money from this fund has been used to help support the work of Dr. Martha Sommers, who serves as the only long-term doctor at the

Embangweni Hospital in Malawi. This year, Dr. Sommers is on leave, updating her medical skills while working in a U.S. hospital. Since she does not need financial support during this time, we are supporting the work of PCUSA mission co-workers Tim and Rachel Stone who are also in Malawi. Although Malawi is the size of Pennsylvania, it has more Presbyterians than the entire U.S. Rapid church growth has led to a severe clergy shortage. Currently, there is only one trained pastor for eve-ry 5,000 church members. Tim is an Old Testament and Hebrew professor at Zomba Theo-logical College, where he is helping to educate the next generation of pastors and teachers. His wife, Rachel, is a global health advocate and educator. They have two young sons. To help support their work, simply use the envelope marked “McKee Memorial” in the July section of your envelope booklet or use a “First Sunday Mission Offering” envelope from the pew racks. Please continue to pray for the people of Malawi, Tim and Rachel Stone and their family, and Martha.

ers and leaders this year. Thank you to Deanna Golden, Dawn Gross-
