We as Presbyterians say that we are a connected church. We are connected to other Presbyterian Churches that are a part of the Presbytery of San Diego, doing ministry in Jesus’ Name throughout San Diego and Imperial Counties. The Presbytery helps each church to share the love of Jesus in their particular community through a variety of resources and spiritual support. The Presbytery also is a great resource for pastors as they seek advice for ministry or direction for new ministries in their community. The Synod of Southern California & Hawaii is another resource for churches. In the past, LCPC has applied for grants for financial help through the Synod.
Every year our church makes a contribution to the Presbytery and the Synod to help with the mission of the Presbytery & Synod which is called a “per capita.” This year, the Presbytery is asking each church of the Presbytery to make a contribution of $32.95 for each member of their church, to help with the mission and ministry of the Presbytery and the Synod of Southern California & Hawaii.
It would be a huge help for each member of the LCPC to make an extra contribution of $32.95 (feel free to round it up to $33.00) for our per capita contribution. If you are able, place your extra gift of $33 (or $66 for couples that are members) in an envelope with the words, “per capita,” on the envelope. It would also help if you write the words “per capita” on the memo line of your check.
