DEACON’S REPORT
It is the duty of Deacons, first of all, to minister to those who are in need, to the sick, to the friendless, and to any who may be in distress, both within and beyond the community of faith.”

Updates and new requests are added throughout the week, and E-mailed to those who have requested it. If you are NOT currently on our prayer E-mail list, but would like to be, please notify the office.

"Lord, let me be a blessing to someone today."

Dear Friends,
Thank you for your gift to the Presbyterian Hunger Program (PHP).

In March the Presbyterian Hunger Advisory Committee was able to award funds totaling $1,063,643 to 129 excellent programs that address hunger and poverty internationally and nationally. In October 2008, the Advisory Committee will meet again to review ongoing work and award more funds, contingent upon the amount of money the PHP receives through the One Great Hour of Sharing Offering.

PHP's work continues to touch the lives of millions - to name just a few:
Farmers in Cameroon, Women in Nicaragua, Tomato Pickers in Florida, and in the hearts and minds of Presbyterians in congregations.

As we read about the Global Food Crisis and see food and gas prices increase, we know that people in our congregations and neighborhoods are struggling. We know that many don't have the choice between food and gas. This crisis has widespread consequences and Presbyterians are taking action to alleviate hunger and eliminate its causes through direct food relief, development assistance, public policy advocacy, hunger education and lifestyle integrity. Please read our web page www.pcusa.org/hunger to know more about what Presbyterians are doing in light of the Global Food Crisis. Again, thank you for your ongoing support.

Ruth Farrell, Acting Coordinator
