A NOTE OF THANKS…
by Diana Burdett, Exec. Dir. of Providence Churches Association

On behalf of all those whom we serve…we thank you for your generous gift of $2,875.50 from the offering at your conference at Beneficent church in Providence.  Due to Government cutbacks in the mental health area we lost a large grant, but then unexpected donations such as yours started to come in. We will be able to continue our level of service to the poor and homeless.

The Missionary Society is accepting One Great Hour of Sharing Funds for victims of recent hurricanes. The One Great Hour of Sharing Fund is used to bring emergency relief to victims of natural disasters such as floods, famine, hurricanes, and other situations of emergency both in the United States and around the world.

PROVIDENCE FUND, 2005
Church Services Commission is pleased to announce the continuation of The Providence Fund for the 2005 Kansas City meeting. Past-Moderator, Don Bentley, created The Providence Fund in 2003 to provide funds to small churches which have not sent delegates to the Annual Meeting in past years due to financial restraints. Delegates from six churches received grants enabling them to attend the Providence, RI, meeting. Churches and/or individuals who would like to help sponsor a church are invited to send their gifts, marked "Providence Fund Grants," to Dan Drea, Financial Manager.
