At the February Presbytery meeting, the Pittsburgh Presbytery approved a motion to send a Domestic Abuse Overture to the 225th General Assembly regarding removal of guns from domestic abusers. The overture was written by Rev. Charissa Howe and Ruling Elder Mark Roth. In this week’s video, Associate Minister Rev. Ralph Lowe interviews Rev. Howe, who shares her testimony and discusses the overture. For more information, Rev. Howe suggests looking into the Presbyterians Against Domestic Violence Network.

Every three years, the Revised Common Lectionary immerses churches in the Gospel of Matthew. This can also be an excellent opportunity to engage the Presbyterian Mission Agency’s Matthew 25 vision of building congregational vitality, dismantling structural racism and eradicating systemic poverty. Rev. Dr. David Gambrell, associate for worship in the PC(USA’s) Office of Theology and Worship, has prepared a set of resources for congregations to use in engaging the Matthew 25 themes.
