• In our stewardship campaign six months ago, our congregation committed to missions any general fund contributions in 2008 over the amount received in 2007. Good news! During the first quarter of the year, giving expanded twenty percent compared to the same period last year. We are grateful that many of you have increased your commitment. Because of your generosity, we are able to offer significantly greater support to Westminster Neighborhood Ministries, the Mother/Baby Hospital and UMOJA Project in Kenya, the Samaritan Fund, the Hispanic New Church Development in Indianapolis, Presbyterian Church (USA) Missionary Support, Camp PYOCA, and Mission Partnership Grants.
