Cuba Connection: August 2019

In March 2019, Darcy Eads, Pam Head, and Capri Zimmerman traveled from Grace to Cuba with a group from the Presbytery of Southern Kansas. They spent their time in Cuba in the Del Centro Presbytery learning about the life and mission of the congregations there. They visited different churches and met with and worshiped with Cuban Presbyterians.

Since their return, the Grace Session has approved the start of a Cuba Team to explore a future partnership with a Cuban Congregation. In June, Darcy Eads traveled to New Orleans for the Cuba Partners Network Gathering. There she learned more about what partnership with a congregation might look like.

On Sunday, August 11, we are excited to welcome Jo Ella Holman to Grace. Jo Ella serves as the PCUSA Mission Coordinator for Cuba and the Caribbean. She preaches at Grace at 9 am and 11 am. Come and hear what God is doing in Cuba.

Mission Spotlight June 2019

The Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is a ministry of the Presbyterian Church USA.  PDA responds to disasters around the world, including the recent floods in the Midwest.  One way PDA responds is by distributing buckets filled with clean-up supplies.  In effort to restock the warehouse with buckets, the Presbytery of Southern Kansas challenged congregations to donate money for this purpose.

The Grace Mission Distribution team contributed $1000.  Other churches in the presbytery donated a total of $6027, and the Presbytery Mission Team matched it.  We were able to give $12,055 to the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance to purchase clean-up bucket supplies.  This will fill 325 clean-up buckets which will be ready to go when another disaster hits.
