Women's Association 80TH Annual Birthday Dinner
Presbyterian Women's Association of Second Presbyterian Church is extending an invitation to all women of the Church to attend the 80th Annual birthday Dinner on April 27th, 2010 at 6 PM.  The Cost is $8.00 per person and will be held in our dining room. Dr. Carter, this year's featured speaker, will discuss the controversies surrounding prescription drugs.   For reservations call Bev Marshall, 353-7205, Stacy Carter, 353-2348, for the Second Presbyterian Church Office, 353-4159.
Help Fight Hunger With CENTS - ABILITY	The Outreach Committee is embarking on a new project to help fight hunger in our own community as well as in the global community through the Presbyterian Hunger Program.  This program, called Cents-Ability, is a small first step in the battle against hunger and poverty.  We are inviting every member of our Congregation to contribute a few cents at every meal as an expression of thanks for what we have received and a commitment to share with others in response to Jesus' command, "You give them something to eat."  Cents-Ability originated in 1976 as "Two-Cents-A-Meal," a project begun by Presbyterian Women to involve individuals and families in a response to world hunger. These small acts of faithfulness can add up:  if 75 people in our congregation contribute just two cents per meal, that adds up to $135 per month and $1620 per year!  80% of the money donated to Cents-Ability by our congregation will be designated for God's Pantry.  The remaining 20% will be sent to the Presbytery to support the Presbyterian Hunger Program. Offering cups for anyone in our community to take home and use for your collection are available at each church entrance and outside the door of the library.  The offering may be placed in the collection plate or dropped off at the church office on a quarterly basis.  Please be sure to note that your offering is for "Cents-Ability."  We will collect our first Cents-Ability offering on the last Sunday in March (March 28th).
