Daily Prayer

Your children grieve, O Loving Spirit.  Across the world, people are dying from this wildfire disease.  Loved ones are being taken abruptly from us or are at risk, and we are told to stay away.  Come into the midst of our suffering.  Reveal your peace to a world in pain that we might find comfort in the promise of eternal life in you.  Amen!
    Rachel Yates, Presbytery Executive

Financial Matters

  • The Presbyterian Foundation’s online giving service provides a quick and easy way for people to set up regular, automated gifts to the church.
  • Humorous things NOT to do with Money (from Inland Northwest Presbytery)
    • Do not attempt to sanitize the offering in the microwave. Believe it or not, this was tried and it was confirmed that even foil strips on checks will spark and catch fire! Fortunately, this was caught before the entire offering went up in flames.
    • Do not place the offering in boiling water. This time-honored method of sanitizing could cause the ink on checks to run. This will work with coins, but is it really worth it?
