We Presbyterians are proud of our "connectional" roots and system of government. Through thick and thin, good times and challenging times, we are to be there with and for one another. After all, this is how we "work" and "live" within the body of Christ.
In that spirit and Spirit, churches in the US Northeast are in need of assistance as they have received the brunt of the latest snow fall. This is how bad it is:
“We could see churches cease to exist because of these storms. It could result in 20 or more church closings, nearly a third of Presbyterian congregations in the area,” says Cindy Kohlmann, resource presbyter for the Presbyteries of Boston and Northern New England. “These are churches that have vibrant congregations but don’t have the resources to deal financially with the issues brought about by the snow and cold temperatures.”
