Rachel Clark, (630) 607-9938 [email protected] New Monmouth Presbyterian Church’s session met for its monthly meeting last Sunday. The session voted to send this quarter’s extra mission funds to RARA, Rise Against Hunger, and the Kerrs Creek Fire Department. We will also begin to participate in a local Rockbridge County program that seeks to support children in foster care or at risk of entering foster care. Through Care Portal we will be able to help meet the needs of families in our community.
