RUF Campus Minister Peter Lyon has shared this invitation:
​
Each Fall/Winter I hold an end of the year fundraiser for the ministry called Beers of Advent. It is my way of putting the four years I spent working in the brewing industry to work raising money for the ministry of the gospel on the campus of CNU. It is also a fun way for me to meet new people in the area and introduce myself and the ministry.  

Here’s how it works: You pay $150. $65 of that covers a curated case of 24 different beers; the other $85 is a tax deductible gift to RUF at CNU. You get a case of 24 different beers handpicked by me and the fine folks at the brand new Bird Girl Bottleshop in Newport News for the month of December leading up to Christmas. Invite friends and neighbors who might be interested in the beer… or supporting the ministry of the gospel at CNU!

Pick up is available in Richmond, Newport News, and Norfolk, VA.

The members of the James River, Tidewater, Blue Ridge, and Korean Capital Presbyteries are invited to prepare for the 51st General Assembly in Richmond, VA, in prayer. The Hosting Committee has provided a table of monthly prayer topics that churches can include during the prayer time within the Lord's Day worship services on the second Sunday of the month. The prayer topics are available here:

Thank you for your help mobilizing prayer for the 51st GA!

An Invitation to Churches from the PCA Administrative Committee:
​
Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. We had a magnificent time celebrating our 50th anniversary at the General Assembly in Memphis, TN. As we continue to celebrate God’s faithfulness to our denomination, I invite you to ask the church sessions in your presbytery to publicize Sunday, December 3, 2024, as our next day of prayer. This date commemorates the first GA held in Birmingham, AL, on December 4, 1973. Our prayer theme is based on the message delivered by the PCA’s first moderator, RE Jack Williamson: “To God Be the Glory.”

Please encourage your churches to set aside Sunday, December 3, as a special day of prayer. We are including a suggested prayer that can be used in the worship service. Feel free to shorten or adapt it, or develop your own approach to fit your worship context.

We are also collecting stories of God’s faithfulness to local PCA churches as they look back at their history, and forward to where God is leading them. We invite your session clerks to send such stories this month to Marlys Roos at [email protected]. Marlys is the Publications Director for PCA’s CDM.
 
All the information and related resources are available on https://pca50.org/dayofprayer/, including a link where individuals and churches can sign up to pray at certain times throughout that entire day.
