NESFACE Coat Collection

NESFACE is collecting gently-used coats and new hats and mittens. You can place your donations in the box in the narthex or call Martha Huscroft.

Thank You

I and our residents really appreciate Rev. Larry and our Kinsman Choir (with robes) for you conducting our chapel services.

Dear Kinsman Presbyterian Church:
Thank you so much for supporting my Eagle Scout project by giving me a one-hundred dollar donation. The signs turned out great at Joseph Badger Meadows.
Sincerely,
Daniel Hess

Dear Friends,
We are grateful for your congregation's contribution of $475.60 to One Great Hour of Sharing. The theme of this year's One Great Hour of Sharing was "Where is your treasure?" For, as Jesus told the multitude in the Sermon on the Mount, where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Clearly, your hearts are in the ministries of healing, compassion, and justice that your gifts will support.
At a time when most Americans are feeling some economic pinch due to the global economic crisis, the impact of the same crisis on our sisters and brothers who lack any economic cushion is often literally a matter of life and death. So especially at a time when many Presbyterians may be cutting back on their giving, I want to thank you for your generous gift. May the Spirit of thanksgiving with which you gave it continue to overflow abundantly within both your own lives individually and that of your congregation.
If you have suggestions or comments about the Offering, please don't hesitate to contact me or any member of the Churchwide Special Offerings team. We are here to serve you in any way we can.
Grace, Alan B. Krome
Associate for Special Offerings
