Same Faith New Journey Initiative

Peace and blessings. Thank you for submitting an application for the Same Faith New Journey Initiative. I am pleased to inform you that your church, Memorial Presbyterian Church, and Smallwood Presbyterian Church are the two churches that will be participating in the initiative this summer. Next week, you will receive a welcome letter/email from Rev. Dot Killian that will provide additional information and next steps.

I am excited about the journey that Memorial’s leaders are about to embark upon. It is my prayer that the Same Faith New Journey Initiative will be a blessing to your congregation. If I can be of help in any way, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me

With gratitude,
