THE PEOPLES' TABLE by Rev. Scott Yates, Nov. 11th, 2018 The Spirit of Christian Giving ~ The People’s Table Friends of Columbia Presbytery, I was able to participate this week in an activity I had only heard of previously, but found to be FAR MORE rewarding than I had ever anticipated. In downtown Columbia, we, First Church and the Cumberland Presbyterian Churches of Columbia Presbytery, sponsor an evening of the People’s Table each month. We are generously hosted by the First Methodist Church at 222 West 7th, who have a large dining room and a commercial kitchen. Their commitment to serving the community is outstanding. We had people from four CP Churches in attendance, cooking, prepping, serving, and cleaning. Along with our adult members, we also had teen, and younger, folks helping. What a great lesson for the youth. While the target group being served is those who are disadvantaged, poor, abused, or homeless, I saw folks from every economic class, who came to have a good, nutritious, healthy and balanced meal, I truly feel that those who were serving were every bit as powerfully fed as those who were being served. First Church has been the primary sponsor for years, but everyone is invited to participate. I will publish a schedule of our designated nights soon, but as we approach Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, it is the perfect time to reach out to those who have less in a time of plenty. Jesus taught us that doing for the “Least of These” is, in itself, a Blessing, like doing it for Him. He never refused the needy, no matter their needs or social station, and we can do no less.

Saturday, Oct. 5th , 2019, Women's Fall Retreat was held at Crystal Springs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The PAS Place The Cumberland Presbyterian Church has a Unique path into the Ordained Ministry, the Program of Alternate Studies, or PAS. The PAS Program allows individuals who, for whatever reason, may receive the call to ministry later in life. These individuals, young and old, men and women, are allowed, through the support of their local presbyteries, and the Denomination, to receive instruction from world class professors, most of whom are on the faculty at Memphis Theological Seminary. They usually attend classes each summer at Bethel University in McKenzie, TN, meeting with their instructors, receiving their assignments, and then completing homework assignments throughout the year. Students have completed the coursework in as little as 2 or 3 years, or longer, like 7 years. The program has great flexibility built in, so that in the best traditions of a "tent-making" ministry, the students can work their full-time jobs, attend summer or local classes, and then, finally, serve their local home congregations, as an ordained minister. This outreach program has sustained the church in a time where churches might otherwise go without a pastor. If you'd like to investigate a possible ministry path in your life, please contact your pastor or the Committee on the Ministry NEWS NEW!!
