By joining with the Matthew 25 Initiative of the Pittsburgh Presbytery, we have the opportunity to abolish over $11 million of medical debt in Allegheny County for pennies on the dollar. On All Saints Sunday, we will take a special offering during our regular worship gathering and will also provide a link to donate online.
