Joining God’s Good Work in Our Communities: The Presbytery of Ohio Valley assembles to celebrate what we’re doing already and explore what we might yet do.
God is up to something! All around the world, and right around the corner, God is up to something. And the good news is that we are a part of it! The congregations of the Presbytery of Ohio Valley make a difference as we bear witness, in word and in deed, to God’s sovereign activity in the world.
The Congregational Mission and Vitality Committee and the Evangelism and Congregational Witness Committee invite you to a different kind of Presbytery Assembly. Regular business will be kept to a bare minimum, as our primary business of the day will be to celebrate what we’re already doing in our communities and to explore what we might yet do. Consider bringing an additional member or two from your congregation for this special day.
We Will:
The Assembly will take place at 10:00am (9:00am Central) on Saturday, 6/4/2016 at the Mitchell Presbyterian Church, with registration starting an hour earlier.
The packet, driving directions, and the minutes from the April meeting will be available for download from the assembly web page after 4:00pm on May 26th.
Online Pre-registration for the Assembly is available now.
To Our Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
We, the congregation of Greencastle Presbyterian Church, invite you to join us this Sunday, Nov. 8th at 10:30 am as we take time to celebrate Dean’s ministry with and to our community. Through ten moves and the wonderful blessing of two children, Dean and Bev Finley have served Christ’s Church faithfully for over seven decades, both through Dean’s ordained and public ministries, but also through their presence as good neighbors in each place they’ve lived.
Beginning with ministries in Colorado, Ohio, and Indiana, Dean went on to have a fruitful impact as Associate Pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Lincoln, Nebraska from 1975 to 1990, providing pastoral care in his gentle, humble manner. (Download timeline)
Too often, we do not do enough to say thank you for those who have poured out their lives in service to Christ and to others. This Sunday is our occasion to do so for Dean, and even if you cannot be with us, we encourage you to pass on your well wishes to Dean by mail (1044 Shadowlawn Ave., Greencastle, IN, 46135).

Dear Rev. Jackman and members of the Presbytery Ohio Valley,
It is my privilege to share with you the story of our mission, D.I.A.P.E.R Project.
On March 18, 2015, we opened our doors to service the youngest members of our community. One out of every three families with small children struggles to provide diapers, wipes, and non-food essentials for their babies and toddlers. These items cannot be purchased through WIC or with food stamps. With over twelve percent of our county’s population living below the poverty line, and others struggling financially, even for working parents, money is often not available for essentials and nutritional food. It is our goal to ensure that all babies remain clean, dry, and healthy.
Currently, we service 45 children per month, and the number continues to grow every week. We distribute diapers, wipes, wash, lotion, ointments, bottles, food items, and some first aid supplies. Each child is given approximately $20 – $40 dollars worth of essentials per month. Our parents have expressed their gratitude for our assistance, and several have brought their children for us to meet. Some parents have jobs, but still need assistance. Others have been laid off from work, are currently on leave, or have encountered other financial hardships. One mother comes to us because her husband left the state with his girlfriend, leaving her with no income and two infants. Another is struggling with a child who has a medical condition which does not allow him to digest solid food; she needs help providing Pedi sure. A few of our parents have been so grateful for the assistance that they have brought in donations of things they cannot use. Their ability to donate, even though they need it themselves, gives them satisfaction in knowing they are helping others.
We would like to thank the POV for providing us with a grant to help us open the doors and help our children. It is because of your support that we are able to be a blessing and help to our community. We are always open to receiving donations, and anyone who wishes to contribute may do so by contacting us at the above address.
Blessings,
Donna McCreary-Bowen
