• Per Capita

  Per Capita 

  Per Capita is a budgetary line item to support the work of the Presbytery of Milwaukee, the Synod of Lakes and Prairies, and the PCUSA General Assembly. (GA $8.98; Synod $5.50; Presbytery $25.52). This year the cost per member in Milwaukee Presbytery is $40. 

  Our per Capita dollars support the staff and resources we receive from the PCUSA. We invite you to share in this budget by giving a gift beyond your pledge to support our connectional church.

  We received extra contributions from 25 members. We budgeted $2,000 and we’ve received $1,000. Thank you for all you gave in addition to your pledge and offering for this expense that keeps us connected to the larger denomination.

• Music Notes from Sheri

  Music Notes  This week’s Witness of Music is a choral composition that was sung by the choir many years ago – “Out of the Depths” by John Carter. I have the practice recordings that I made for each of the voices, soprano, alto and baritone. It has a Lenten text and it  fit well with Rev. Nicolaisen’s bulletin material. As in the days of severe Covid, I edited my practice recordings together to create the video you will see/hear this Sunday.
