A Joyous Report
The history of the Presbytery of San Fernando is one of generosity that has often flowed abundantly from hearts committed to God, weaving a tapestry of connections that has touched lives near and far. As an expression of that during the second part of last year, we also had the opportunity to mark our 55th anniversary by holding the Growing Together in Mission campaign. I am thrilled to share that with the participation of 23 different donors, including 5 New Worshipping Communities, the contributions came to $14,138. But the ripple effect doesn’t end there. With matching funds from our Presbytery, we will have the joy of distributing $28,276 to address urgent needs in our community and beyond!
One of our primary foci in the last three years has been addressing food insecurity through our partnership with North Valley Caring Services (NVCS). This remarkable partner organization works tirelessly to prevent individuals and families in our region’s most economically disadvantaged community from going hungry. Thanks to the campaign, almost $9,425 will be added to the $15,000 already allocated in our budget to help strengthen NVCS’ vital work of providing nourishment and hope to those in need.
