Motorbikes for Rwandan Pastors

Let’s all help Kiskiminetas Presbytery celebrate the 20th anniversary of our partnerships with congregations in the Gitarama Presbytery by raising funds for the purchase of motorbikes. Each motorbike costs only $2000! 

Many pastors in Rwanda must walk to their churches or to visit their parishioners. It can sometimes take 2 hours on foot to get where they need to go. Motorbikes are an inexpensive way to allow pastors to navigate the dirt roads and mountain trails. It is often easier to ride motorbikes on the dirt roads of Rwanda than it is a car due to the poor quality of the roads. But many congregations in Rwanda are already burdened with updated building standards set by the Government of Rwanda. Motorbikes are often beyond the reach of most churches. The gift of a motorbike allows for pastors to be more effective in their ministry, and permits more outreach among the community they serve. A motorbike is a relatively inexpensive gift with HUGE benefits for our partner congregations.

The Program and Bulletin for the SPC Worship Service - Sunday, May 31, 2026

On July 4, we'll celebrate our 250th anniversary as a country. And even though we haven’t been perfect, we’ve served as an example of freedom for the rest of the world. But as important as that is, the Bible teaches that true freedom is a spiritual reality found through Jesus Christ that transforms how individuals live, serve, and interact with the world. With that in mind, during the six weeks between Pentecost and Independence Day, we’ll explore six key things the Bible says about our freedom in Christ:

• May 24 - Freedom That’s Empowered
• May 31 - Freedom That’s Liberating
• June 7 - Freedom That’s Enlightened
• June 14 - Freedom That’s Limited
• June 21 - Freedom That’s Active
• June 28 - Freedom That’s Challenging 

On Sunday, we'll discuss how our freedom in Christ frees us from sin. Below is the bulletin and program for the service. You can stream the service by going to the Sligo Presbyterian Church YouTube Channel on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. (EDT).  You can hear a podcast of the service at the Sligo Presbyterian Church YouTube Channel or the Sligo Presbyterian Spotify Page.

The SPC Kindness Kids Celebrate Pentecost

 

On Sunday, May 24, our Kindness Kids celebrated Pentecost. After making streamers, they paraded down the aisles after our worship service, leading the congregation to fiery cupcakes in the narthex. We thank Debbie Rudiger for leading our Kindness Kids, our worship team for the cupcakes, Donna Pryor for Pentecost pens, and our young people for their dedication. Below are some pictures of this activity. The SPC Kindness Kids meet every Sunday morning during the Sligo Presbyterian worship service.
