Prayer in the wake of the Charleston massacre - from Outlook editor, Jill Duffield
"Almighty God, our gathering together for worship and prayer is both an offering of praise and a show of courage. We come to this sanctuary mindful that even sacred spaces are not necessarily safe spaces.
We bow our heads remembering our brothers and sisters in Christ whose last earthly act was prayer... Comfort their families and friends and strengthen them in the difficult days that are ahead. We pray, too, because Christ commands us to, for Dylan Roof and his family. Bring peace, transform hearts, show us again your resurrection power in places we cannot imagine it can come...."

Thanks, Linda, for years of faithful service!
After nine years of energetic, imaginative, and dedicated service as Executive Director to the Presbyterian Mission Agency, Executive Director Linda Valentine has announced her resignation, effective July 10.
Serving since 2006, Linda is the longest serving Executive Director of the Presbyterian Mission Agency and its various predecessor organizations. Linda and her leadership team have reshaped the Mission Agency from one that does mission on behalf of the church to one that "inspires, equips and connects" the church to serve Christ in the world.
