On the table in the elevator entrance to the sanctuary, is a literature table. I picked up a new booklet this past Sunday that I hadn't seen before. Maybe I hadn't taken time to look at that table, but this particular booklet caught my eye. It was a copy of PRESBYTERIANSTODAY.
A bright red banner across the top read, "SPECIAL ISSUE: An introduction to all things Presbyterian".
There's a lot of "good stuff" in this magazine. But as I was reading one article, I thought, "Wow. Maybe we've had a part in this mission." There is an article entitled "Where in the world are Presbyterians?" It is about a mission in Africa. They are part of the fair-trade project.
Do you suppose that maybe, just maybe, we have purchased items in our store in Joplin, Missouri, that have helped farmers and families in Cameroon, Africa? Dried fruit from an Cameroon grower..sounds "sweet" to me..!
