Thus far, the presbytery and Board of Pensions education to congregations related to the Affordable Health Care Act has focused on the "Employer Healthcare Tax Credit" provision of the Act. However, as the dust continues to settle on this new legislation, along with congregations, we will need to continue to monitor Board of Pensions communications closely on this topic. You may find the information and timelines published thus far, helpful (see links below). We will add additional pertinent information as it becomes available to the website. Click here.

Discover a Season of Peace
An Introduction and Invitation
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." Luke 4:18-19
Jesus call us to be peacemakers.
We see this every day as we expereience our world's need for Christ's reconciling love, peace, and justice. We feel this as we long to know God's peace in our hearts and relationships. The promise of Jesus "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God" (Matthew 5:9) is both a comfort and a challenge. It reminds us that the path of peace is something we both follow and forge. More...
