DO YOU LIKE Have you ever wondered what it would be like living in London , England ? John D’Elia, our Presbytery Foundation representative is now the Senior Minister of The American Church in London . He has a blog that has pictures of the neighborhood, the church, and “life for the family” to access go to: http://ministryintheuk.blogspot.com Give it a try. Don ImlayOR Casey Maddren, Ryan Pappan is a second-year student at Austin Theological Seminary who is under care of San Fernando Presbytery. He’s asked us to spread the word about his blog, which appears on the PCUSA website. Ryan’s bolg ordinarily appears on Saturday, but you can also find it archived under the name PappyMcVulgar. I’m sure he’d be happy to get feedback from anyone who has the inclination to respond to his comments. You can find the link at: pcusablog.blogspot.com ENDOWMENTS, GIFTS & MEMORIALSDon Imlay Over the years this column has emphasized the remembering your church by naming PPC at one’s passing by a Trust or Will bequest. This is still the object of this column. We Presbyterians are a private lot and don’t discuss our total finances with each other. Over the years the church has been pleasantly surprised by bequests and gifts by the survivors. At the current juncture in the life of the congregation we are open to a few surprises. Faced with formidable renovation expenses, every source must be explored. For instance, the cemetery plot owned by the church is for sale. We have one prospect considering the purchase. Making our needs known to non-members can help. As a trust administrator for 30 years, I recall a Pasadena Church that received a $250,000 bequest from a non-member who had only visited once. The fund is still active and used for social programs in the Pasadena area. The point being, we need to spread the word of our need. Deviating from the EG&M theme, our tenant, ELIM, is helping us with renovation tasks to save costs. We will succeed, it is just taking longer. Those wanting the discipline of an extra pledge, a card and program are available. Let’s take the initiative! MEMBERSHIP Don Imlay, Chairman We have several who are interested in joining the Church. Also an interest has been expressed to go through the class again by others. We invite all. The tentative time is September. See Don Imlay or Rev. Dart if interested.
