Blue Hymnal Organist Edition Sought
Forest Hills Presbyterian Church is currently on the lookout for a copy of The Presbyterian Hymnal: Hymns, Psalms, and Spiritual Songs (Organist Edition)—often referred to as the “Blue Hymnal.” If you have a copy to re-home or know where one might be available, please reach out! Used editions are occasionally listed online, but availability is limited—and they are very pricey.
Serve Grants Application Deadline is September 12
Go here for a description of the Serve Grant, who qualifies to apply, and for the application process: https://www.mission-presbytery.org/serve-committee
The Serve Committee will hand out the grants at the October 17-18 meeting of Mission Presbytery at Cross Roads, San Antonio.
Committee of Representation and Participation - "CORP"
CORP is beginning its work and will bring a slate of nominations to the October presbytery meeting. Every commission, committee, and task force can use your help.
If you are interested in the work of any of these, would like to self-nominate, or refer someone to CORP, email Laurie Palmer, Stated Clerk, at
All hands are on deck and always need your help identifying who would serve well from your congregations.
Who Wants Some Money?!?
At our June Presbytery meeting, we discussed our identities as geographic regions. We brainstormed ideas to increase our connections to one another within our regions. This is a gentle nudge that we still have $1000 for MOST of the regions in our Presbytery and we would love for you to come up with a way to use this money to connect with one another. The Austin region has used their money and they organized a night at the ballpark to watch the Round Rock Express play baseball. Over 100 folks from various churches were in attendance and had a great time! If you have an idea that would include your entire geographic region, please reach out to the Connect Committee Chairs, Erica Knisely (erica@staopen.org) or Jo Ann Currie (jjcurrie5152@gmail.com).
