Greetings!


How can it be that this Monday is Labor Day?  Seems like only yesterday we were making last minute preparations for the 219th General Assembly and putting the finishing details on the 2010 NCD Conference.  We know that many of you had busy summers, too and we hope that, in the midst of meetings, camps, and conferences, you found time to sit back and enjoy the fruits of Summer.

The Office of Evangelism and Church Growth is sponsoring numerous events for Fall 2010 and is already planning events for 2011 and beyond.  We look forward to seeing you as we continue to ignite, inspire, and equip congregations in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
