The PC(USA) General Assembly is underway in Milwaukee, WI and we are delighted to see the smiles of the delegates from Providence as their work continues today.

We thank God for the talents and wisdom our Young Adult Advisory Delegate Kate Robeson, Ruling Elder Commissioner Sue Williams and Teaching Elder Commissioner Rev. Dr. Joanne Sizoo (left to right) bring to the 227th General Assembly.

The work they are doing this week is so important as the GA discusses topics ranging from the denomination's stance on Christian Nationalism, its role in social justice issues and discerning God's path forward for us in our reformed identity.

We look forward to hearing their post-GA reports at our August 16th virtual stated meeting and are always grateful for the chance to be . If you'd like updates from the GA in real time, please visit: https://pcusa.org/about-pcusa/church-structure/general-assembly/general-assembly-gathering

"I want to make sure members of my session see this recording!"

That's how valuable our latest Ministry Toolbox conversation was for one participant. We hope you'll agree!

Steve sat down with Olanda Carr, Ministry Resource Officer with the Presbyterian Foundation, to discuss all the ways congregations can take advantage of the no cost financial services the foundation offers.
