Parish Paper

In the past, these have been distributed at presbytery meetings. Because we have permission to post them on our website we will no longer be distibuting copies at presbytery meetings, but will post them as soon as we receive them.  This will enable congregations to get them on a regular basis instead of just four times per year.
