Mission & Outreach Committee

As children of God we are called to tell the world of Gods love, to care for those in need and to seek justice and equality for all. At Pewee Valley Presbyterian Church
we reach out to others by providing our time and money beyond the walls of our church and outside our congregation. We are involved in mission and outreach within
our local community, regionally in Kentucky and in the rest of the world.
Locally we reach out to others by participating in the South Oldham Interchurch Council, by providing gifts and food at Christmas time to Central State Hospital and
by collection food and cleaning materials for the Presbyterian Community Center in Louisville.
Regionally we schedule annual mission trips to Hazard, KY for affordable new home construction under carpenter supervision and existing home repair
for low-income families. We are also involved in maintenance and repair work at the Lotts Creek Community School, Hazard, KY with a weeklong mission trip each year.
We are planning trips to both of these communities in 2007.
Globally we have been and continue to be involved in the installation of clean water systems to underprivileged communities in Mexico.
We are planning to install more clean water systems in Mexico next year and are also planning to get involved in clean water supply to communities in Guatemala.
An integral part of all our mission and outreach work is to spread the Word of God and to show Gods love to others.

Day after day, in the temple courts and from
house to hours, they never stopped teaching
and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the
Christ. Acts 5:42
