Our denomination will be lifting up A Season of Peace from September 7 through October 5, when we will celebrate World Communion Sunday. Throughout this season, the Peace and Global Witness Special Offering will be received. By participating in this offering, Forest Hill Church is extending Christ’s peace throughout our community and our world. The pursuit of peace in the name of Christ is part of an active, engaged faith – a witness to what it means for us to be the Church, together. Please consider participating in this offering with the envelopes in the pews or sending a designated contribution to the church. Forest Hill Church will keep 25% of the offering to support peacemaking, justice and reconciliation efforts in our local community. As we gather around God’s global table of peace, let us remember that peace begins with each of us.
As a “Matthew 25 Congregation” within the Presbyterian Church…
…we are committed to finding ways to carry out this Bible chapter’s six directives for meeting human needs. One familiar example – “I was hungry, and you gave me food” – is currently addressed, in part, with our large Abundant Food Pantry distribution every Tuesday.
Much remains to be done; you are invited to help find ways to meet more needs in this community and beyond. For more “Matthew 25 Congregation” information, click here.
