A Little Goes a Long Way

3 Cents A Meal

It's EASY! It's AFFORDABLE! It MAKES A DIFFERENCE! For $2.72 per person per month the impact can potentially be huge! When you encouarge your congregation to give to 3 Cents a Meal here's how you help: for every dollar collected $.25 cents stays in your congregation to benefit food ministries you support (your own food pantry, a local feeding ministry, etc); $.35 cents goes to Beth-El Farmworker Ministry to help with their weekly food distribution in Wimauma, Arcadia, Ft. Meade and Immokalee (do you know they give out 500+ bags of food in Wimauma every week?) $.35 cents goes to the International Mission Partnership Committee of the Presbytery for distribution for the needs that arise in Honduras. The remaining $.05 cents also goes to IMPC for administrative costs, such as helping with the annual container shipment to Honduras, etc. Click here for a bulletin insert that helps interpret the offering for your congregation.

CREST - Commissioned Ruling Elder Support Team

Are You Called.......?

A Commissioned Lay Pastor is an elder of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) who is granted a local commission by the presbytery to serve a particular church for a specific amount of time. Depending on the person and the church, the Committee on Ministry can give that person authority to “lead worship, preach the gospel, watch over the people and provide for their nurture and service.” (Book of Order G-2.1001 ff)
