PCConnect – February 2017 Edition: Black History Month, Lent Resources, the Presbyterian Connection, and more!

PCConnect—February Edition

February is Black History Month in Canada

For churches, this annual celebration offers a unique opportunity to honour the legacy of Black Canadians not only in our nation but also in our faith communities. Read the many ways churches can celebrate through worship – in art, music and words by people of African and Caribbean descent.

Resources for Lent

Visit our website for a variety of seasonal resources for worship and family activities, like how to create a Lenten Tree! Also this season, may we remember to reach out to our brothers and sisters around the world: download the PWS&D Lent liturgies (large print and PowerPoint versions available). 

The Connection is Coming!

Don't miss the first edition of the Presbyterian Connection newspaper. Subscribe today! Help spread the word about this exciting new publication for Presbyterians across the country by making a short announcement during worship and distributing bulletin inserts asking members to subscribe. The Presbyterian Connection aims to share news, updates and stories—strengthen our denominational ties.

Ballot for Moderator—Nominee Profiles Available

Six people are nominated for Moderator of the 2017 General Assembly. Nominee profiles are now available to read more about each candidate. What do they believe is the core calling of the church today? What are their ideas of church at its best? What is their favourite flavour of ice cream? Votes will be tallied on April 3!

Share a Mission Moment

Use the brief story and photo from each Mission Moment in your weekly church bulletin to show how Presbyterians in Canada are making a difference! Texts, photos and PDFs are available to download. Show the PowerPoint during your announcements, coffee hour or use one slide a week for your very own Mission Moment.
