Folks got to see where their mission money is spent and to even benefit from some of the offerings (no, not just the halloween candy!) from some of the displays. The fair was an opportunity to experience first hand the things we at New Castle Presbytery consider valuable. The Presbytery staff and coordinators from RCCPC did a wonderful job streamlining the process so that each booth was accessible and visible. And thanks to Donna Bowers, we were able to relive the highlights in the Midweek.
Financial guru Suze Orman says true wealth is being surrounded only by the possessions you really love. The rest is clutter. We’ve got some clutter in our lives and in our churches, doing things because we’ve always done them and not because they have great value to our faith lives and our communities. And we wonder why we are not getting the participation. We may have hidden gifts and talents that we are not aware of or God may be calling us to step out]]> Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:37:20 +0000 mod http://ncpresby.pbwiki.com/Midweek+Newsletter-2008+November+20 email.hidden@example.com (Michelle Woodson) Michelle Woodson edited Midweek Newsletter-2008 November 20 “Mia???? What are you DOING???!!!!
I must say this five times a day. She’s upstairs, downstairs, late for school, looking for shoes, playing when she should be getting dressed; you get the picture. Her response is always “I’M DOING SOMETHING!” As frustrated as I get, I always find her doing something that is very important to her, something that has great value. Eight out of ten times, once I find out, I can usually appreciate her busyness, even if it is not what I would be doing at ten minutes before the school bus leaves!

Several Presbyterian women had the opportunity to hear Monique Misenga,International Peacemakerin September tell about poverty in the Congo. It was moving. Sketching a historical background for the backdrop, she explained that the infrastructure was destroyed and numerous challenges exist. Families strive to have one meal a day. Education is provided for those who can pay. Conditions are heartbreaking. She assist women in setting up small business to provide food for the families. Churches are able to assist some as well with education. She had handmade products such as necklaces, tops and linens for sale. Women eagerly made purchases and gave donations. Supporting the Presbyterian Women Palm Project took on a deeper meaning. We were glad we made the trip to Dover to hear from our sister how we can help the Congo grow.
