Key January events

Important January events for Crescent Hill church’s Guatemala partnership and ministry with new immigrants:

-Sunday, January 3, at 9:45 a.m., the Spanish-language Sunday school class continues its study of the Hebrew Bible book of Joshua, which is using a Presbyterian Women Horizons study guide (Mary Mikhael's "Journey of Faith" - cover graphic above). Class discussions usually go on in Spanish and English.

-Wednesday, January 5, at 6:30 p.m., folks interested in the Guatemala mission partnership will meet at the home of Keith, Andrea, and family. On the agenda will be possible support for Estoreno Presbytery partners in the aftermath of 2010 storms in Guatemala and possible visits between Estoreno folks and Crescent Hill folks. Everyone is welcome.

-Monday, January 10 will mark the start of the winter term of the joint Crescent Hill-James Lees-Covenant Community English as a foreign language teaching ministry. Crescent Hill folks will be providing food on that day and Wednesday and then every Monday and Wednesday every three weeks. Contact Pastor Jane or Perry if you can help. Other Crescent Hill folks will be helping teach classes and lead children’s activities.

-Friday, January 21, at 6:00 p.m., Crescent Hill folks and friends will be in Fellowship Hall for a light supper and a talk on interactions between Central American folks and North American visitors on mission trips by LiErin Probasco, a Princeton grad student: “Theologies of Receiving: Recipients’ Explanations of Cross-national Aid.” The talk should be of interest to everyone with an interest in our Guatemalan mission partnership, in the church in Latin America, or in combining partnership and benevolence. Tell your friends.
