This Week's Announcements:
The Elders want to keep you informed about the current financial position of the church. Giving for the month of Mar. was $16,000 below budget, and for our 2016, 17 fiscal year to date we’re down $77,000. We wanted to let you know about this well before the end of the fiscal year in June. Please prayerfully consider how you might help us to close this gap. Expenses continue to be in line with what we expected and are actually under budget. As always, the Elders are grateful for your faithful giving.
The next Ladle Fellowship Opportunity is coming up Sun., April 30th. We’ll meet at the fountain in the Courtyard before 12:00pm, or at First Pres. Downtown at 1:00pm. Join us as we serve a meal to our homeless community with Ladle Fellowship at First Presbyterian Church Downtown. Also, Ladle hands out clothes/shoes (mostly for men) for the homeless, so please bring those with you or you may leave at reception before Apr. 30. For more information, contact John O’Dea at johnobruin@gmail.com.
There will be a caring for aging adults panel discussion on Monday May 1st at 7:00pm in Fellowship Hall. Please join the congregations of St. James by the Sea and La Jolla Presbyterian Church for a panel discussion and Q&A for adult children faced with the challenges of caring for aging parents, particularly those with cognitive impairment or traumatic brain injury. Invitees of all ages are welcome, as our panel of experts can answer an array of questions to address any concerns you might have. For more information contact Brook Phelps at brookep@ljpres.org
