South Central Partnership met in Lucas

The Presbyterian churches in South Central Iowa try to work together. We use our Partnership dinner each month for fellowship and sharing.

We met Thursday with Allerton, Chariton, Indianola, Leon, LeRoy and Lucas represented. Absent were Carlisle, Centerville, Hartford, and Knoxville. Thanks to Lucas for hosting.

The churches are all pursuing interesting ministries. David Endriss reported that the churches had now contributed the $340 needed for the partnership to purchase a shallow well for the Marion Mission Shallow Well project in Malawi. Suzanne Gorhau (Centerville) will see to getting the money there and the well built.

We will meet in July to hear from Kathy Mahler, Presbytery of Des Moines missionary serving the poorest of the poor in El Salvador. And in the Fall we will have a workshop for all our partnership churches on the amazing Evangelism book, Unbinding the Gospel (click here for overview). Thanks to Jack DePond at Leon for this initiative.

Cans for Camp

Help us meet our goal for “Cans for Camp” by dropping off any clean redeemable pop or alcoholic beverage cans or bottles off at the back of the HCUM Church. We have provided several garbage cans out back to accept your donations. If you are unable to drop them off at the church, please contact the church at 641-877-4641 and we will make arrangements to pick them up. Your donation to “Cans for Camp” helps to send children to Bible camp each summer. Thank you for your support.

Please poke a hole in the bottom of the sack of cans before you drop them off so all the liquid drains out of the sack. This will help keep the sticky, stinky mess from getting all over Carla’s car, and when the workers dump out the cans to count them, no one will get messy from the drained cans and bottles in the sacks. Thank you.
