Thanks to the generosity and hard work of churches from across the Presbytery of Philadelphia we were able to deliver over 1,000 hygiene kits and a couple of boxes of baby kits to the Brethren Service Center in New Windsor, MD. These kits are now on their way to Haiti.
Many congregations have shipped kits to either New Windsor or to the PDA (Presbyterian Disaster Assistance) depot in Arkansas in response to the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile. Others took advantage of a combined delivery opportunity by bringing their boxes, bags, and stacks of kits to the Presbytery meeting in March.
Thanks First Pres for being a part of this important ministry. Thanks to your generosity we were able to donate four cartons of kits.

If you missed the April Bread and Cup, you missed a lot!
It was our second Karaoke Night with Irene Overton’s daughter Lydia as our disc jockey. Four year old Josh Overton charmed the crowd with his rendition of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean Jade Bass, Marlene Young, and Gloria Patterson formed their own “girl group” to sing 60’s Motown hits, with sexton Harry Watkins joining them singing Marvin Gaye’s vocals.
Gloria also won our first ever culinary contest when the audience voted her pound cake most worthy of the $25 gift certificate to the Flower Café. Our thanks go to Bea Gardner, Susan Mills Farrington, and Richard Brooks for their delicious entries.
Don’t miss this Sunday’s Bread and Cup featuring Paulette Lawson as our headliner. Open mic starts at 7:00pm.
This is Ms. Lawson’s first time at our multicultural inter-generational celebration of the arts. She is a vocalist whose repertoire consists of contemporary Christian standards.
