Final Report on 2012 Benevolence
Giving
Church and Community
Committee
What does an orphanage in South
Africa, a Christian College in Pakistan, a goat-herder in Rwanda, and a coffee
co-op in Nicaragua have in common with a youth home, a high school academy, a
church camp, health shelters and food pantries, and other Presbytery and hands-on
ministries in the East End and greater Pittsburgh area?
Of course! They were all supported by the benelovent
giving of the members of Sixth Presbyterian Church.
Below is a
complete listing of the receipts and disbursements for 2012.
To compensate
for a reduced budget in 2012, Fund-raiser dinners for El Porvenir, Nicaragua
and for the Camp Crestfield Building Fund were held in cooperation with the
Deacons. In addition the Sixth
Presbyterian Women held a White Elephant Sale and the proceeds were shared with
the Camp Crestfield Building Fund, the Huis Oeboentoe orphanage (www.oeboentoe.co.za) in South Africa, and
the Forman Christian College in Pakistan (www.fccollege.edu.pk/).
For more allocation details please
see the 2012 Annual Report that was passed out at the annual congregational
meeting on February 10.
