Honor the ministry of Presbyterian chaplains on Veterans Day

As Presbyterians join with a grateful nation on November 11 to celebrate our veterans’ service to our country, it is also a fitting time to honor and support our PC(USA) military chaplains who provide a vital ministry to and with those who serve in the military.

While chaplains are called to serve in places where most of us can’t be, we can support them by being in the very places where they most often can’t — that is with their families.  Learn more about how your congregation can offer assistance and hands-on ministry support to military chaplains, personnel and their families.

Plan early for Earth Day

Earth Day resources for 2010 urge congregations to make wise stewardship decisions regarding their worship space. Plan early — get resources and work with your church to begin to implement changes now to honor God and the earth, and then to celebrate these steps on the Sunday before or after Earth Day, April 22, 2010.
