November 7 Mission SundayDear Partners In Mission, As we gather together for the Annual Mission conference Sunday, we are looking forward to celebrating our Partnerships in Brazil, haiti, honduras, Jamaica and Kenya – Partnerships which have developed over the years and bind us together in ministry and mission with our brothers and sisters around the world. As we worship, work and bear witness together with all of those who belong to our international family of faith, we strive especially to lift up the poor, to relieve the oppressed and to seek peace, justice and reconciliation for all of God’s people on earth. So please come join us on Mission Sunday, November 7, during both the 9:00 and 11:15 worship services as members of our Mission staff and lay leaders speak about what mission means to them and to our entire congregation. The theme this year is “Sharing The love of God In The World,” and the Mission council hopes and prays that you will be encouraged to financially support and moved to participate in the many mission opportunities to serve, including our mission trips next year. Between the worship services, we invite you to join us for the combined Sunday School program for youth and adults in Fifield Hall, including a special celebration for elementary children. And then we hope you will come to the complimentary celebration luncheon in Fifield Hall at 12:15 to hear an inspirational presentation by leaders of our church and hillside church. Thank you for your prayers and for your faithful support!

Gratefully yours,

Doug Orr and Barb Wirth, co-chairs, Mission celebration Sunday

November 14, Commitment Sundayevery year we celebrate commitment Sunday, and bring our pledge cards forward during the 9:00 and 11:15 am Sunday worship services, making our commitments to the lord and to all those whom he has called us to serve in ministry and mission. On behalf of this years chairpersons – eddie Newsom, Stuart Bondurant and Tad little, together with their entire Annual Giving campaign committee - I invite you to join us for this grand and glorious outpouring of generosity and gratitude, lifting up our praise to God for all of his blessings, and dedicating ourselves to be and become a blessing to others. Our theme for the campaign, “In God We Trust,” recocognizes that the motto printed on all of our U.S. currency is actually the spiritual framework of christian stewardship, summed up in that great hymn of the church:

“We Give Thee But Thine Own,

What E’er The Gift May Be,

All That We Have Is Thine Alone,

A Trust O Lord From Thee”

I look forward to seeing you on both of these special days – Mission conference Sunday, November 7 and commitment Sunday, November 14, as we lift up our hearts to the lord! And please invite your family and friends to come on along with you!

Faithfully Yours,

George B. WirthCommitment

Mission is fundamental to the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Church. In mission, we share the message of Hope with people in Atlanta, our country and around the globe. First Presbyterian Church is deeply com-mitted to responding to the needs of others and to reaching out to our partners to make a dif-ference in people’s lives. Your Annual Giving pledge supports the work of the Mission Council including:

BRAZIl Through its faith- based partnerships founded for the purpose of sharing resources and spreading God’s word, FPC supports efforts to improve liv-ing conditions, enhance educa-tional opportunities (through PRECE) and increase economic development (through micro credit lending) for the extended church community.

hAITI Our Haitian partner-ship continues to support the fa-cilities at Holy Cross Church and School as well as teacher salaries and school lunches. We hope to add more lunch-days per week and improve parent participation establishing a program for earn-ing tuition credits through work and agricultural contributions. Many in the community await expansion of the successful Mi-croCredit program.

KENYA The Presbyterian Uni-versity of East Africa celebrated the dedication of its new dormi-tory to Ed Albright this year, and plans are underway to begin an anatomy building to support the beginning of a medical school.

The chil-dren at the T u m a i n i Orphanage are enjoying their new home. Our r e s o u r c e s helped pro-vide a van for

the orphanage. With help from our Mt. Kenya Academy partners, a very successful MicroCredit program has become a reality, and we continue to assist Chania and Mukuri elementary schools.

JAMAICA Through our unique Partnership with Hillside Presby-terian Church, we assist in their local mission at the Mount Olivet Boys Home. The home pro-vides a safe and loving environ-ment for up to 50 boys whose families are unable to care for them and we have watched many of the boys become young men with dreams and desires for their future. Our work in Negril at the Theodora Project has introduced us to young adults rescued from the human traffick-ing trade and children living in the community nearby. We have

led VBS, sang songs, provided requested resources and shared the love of Christ in many ways with our brothers and sisters in Jamaica.

hONDuRAS The Youth of FPC have been and are commit-ted to our partnership with the people of Honduras! Serving faithfully since 1993, our work has included updating homes of poor Honduran families – ce-menting floors, installing plumb-ing and chimneys, building la-trines, building beds for families, working in the orphanages and hospitals and so much more.

ThERE ARE SEvERAl oth-er important ministries of the Mission Council which include: vIllA INTERNATIONAl, an ecumenical ministry offering af-fordable, safe and convenient short-term housing; ChIlD-SpRING INTERNATIONAl, a powerful ministry helping chil-dren from over 38 countries come to the United States for severe

medical; AMIS, which stands for Atlanta Ministry with

International Stu-dents, offers an ec-umenical program of friendship and hospitality to the thousands

of international students studying

in metro-Atlanta col-leges and universities; and,

REFuGEE RESETTlEMENT pROGRAM which helps refugee families get resettled in Atlanta.
