PEACEMAKING. During the March 14, 2020, stated meeting of Upper Ohio Valley Presbytery, an action was taken to encourage Presbyterians to write letters of encouragement to detainees in camps on our southern border, letters of faith, accompaniment, and support. There are still some detainees who have not had contact with the outside world in long periods of time. These letters have proven to be a lifeline. They can be written in English. In this period of pandemic, this need continues and increases. Please take this as a mission project now in your “sheltering at home time.” Place letters in a blank envelope and then another envelope and address and send to St. Mark’s Presbyterian Church, ℅ CMDVP, 3809 East Third St., Tucson, AZ 85716. If you have questions, you can call Jackie Hutyera at 740/491-7251.

New students may begin in the fall of 2020.

If interested, please contact Dee Kovach deekovach@att.net. A list of the Fall 2020, workshops and descriptions, and application booklet for the program can be found under Items of Interest on our website.
