California Wildfire Aid

The Presbytery is gathering items to send to California to aid in the recovery effort for the fires. Two PCUSA churches were burned down. If you bring donations to the church, we will get them to Madeira Silverwood where they are gathering the items or if you’re coming to the workday at Matthew 25 on February 8, you can bring your donations along with you when you show up to work.
