As we prepare for World Communion Sunday on October 6, let’s look at the forms of Christianity in two other continents, led by two members of our congregation who have been immersed in these countries.
September 29: Ethiopian Christianity will be described by Dick Obermanns. Ethiopia’s ethnic and religious landscape is complex, with unique and fascinating features that hearken back to the earliest years of the Church. We will examine issues in our contemporary relationships with Reformed-tradition Protestant/Evangelical churches in a number of other countries.
October 6: Christianity in Peru will be presented by Chenoa Stock. Chenoa will share about the various religions and spiritualities that she has encountered while serving as a Mission Co-Worker in Bolivia and Peru. She will speak to the spiritualities that existed long before the Spanish colonization of South America, and the religions that have emerged and developed since then.

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.
