Stewardship Sunday Nov 8th - C&C summary

Sixth's annual Stewardship Sunday is coming up on November 8th!

Here is the information about the Church and Community to be included for that day:

The Church and Community committee is the mission arm of Sixth Church. Our committee’s work allows the gifts of volunteerism and financial support from the members and friends of Sixth Church to reach local and global communities and people who need our help.

Our committee selects organizations that may need financial or volunteer support to better serve others for a mission that is aligned with Sixth’s own mission. These include organizations focused on hunger relief efforts, local cooperative ministries, and social justice organizations.

Our committee coordinates the More Light Presbyterians initiative at Sixth Church, working on inclusiveness and equality issues for lesbian, gay and transgendered persons.

Our committee has worked with and supported organizations like Wilkinsburg Community Ministry, East End Cooperative Ministries, Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, Neighborhood Academy, Mars Home for Youth, Camp Crestfield (Youth Scholarship Fund), Lazarus Fund of the Pittsburgh Presbytery, Just Harvest, Church World Services, CROP, Goats for Gifts: For Rwandan Women Affected by the Genocide, Open Hands Ministry and Global Links to help to provide aid and help where needed for the people these organizations serve.

Our committee communicates through e-mail, a weblog, bulletin announcements, the Sixth Sense newsletter, word of mouth, and a few committee meetings, typically about four a year.

Please contact Fred O’Leary ( fredoleary@gmail.com ) or Kit Ayars ( kit@pitt.edu ) if you are interested in being a part of this amazing piece of our life here at Sixth Church!

Tom Juring and his committee have planned a very special program to kick off our stewardship campaign, and of course a delicious lunch as always! Hope to see you all there ....
