General Assembly for 2010 is now over and resolutions have been recorded.  For those items requiring further approval by presbyteries more information will be forthcoming.  But for now, there are several updates and news releases for what has happened so far.

Ron and Susan Crammer are helping us compile a new directory by taking our photos before and after worship on Sunday mornings.  Nina Montgomery is helping by putting together the list of addresses and contact information. As you are able, please be sure to check in with both of them to be sure your information and photo are current.

If you have a moment, please log onto:

www.pcusa.org and check our denomination's new website. It is more contemporary in appearance with the information most sought after being a little easier to find with search engines and pull-down menus. 

Every day you see people who are hurting: those who have lost a job, lost a loved one, gone through a divorce, or are battling a terminal illness. Stephen Ministers are people who are trained to provide one-on-one, confidential, Christian caregiving -- to bring God's love to those who are hurting. Chapel in the Pines P.C. (U.S.A.) will be training another class of Stephen Ministers beginning in September. If you are interested in finding out more about becoming a Stephen Minister please contact Mitzi Lesher-Thomas.
