Giving by check

Just thought some of you would like to know how to give by check. So if you would like to give by check.  You can send a check made out to PCUSA with Christina Tammen E210112 in the memo line to: Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) P.O. Box 643700 Pittsburgh, PA 15264-3700.   You can continue to give online with the link at the top of the page.  


Thanks so much for all your help! As far as updates go, the visa process and I are not getting along.  Its quite complicated. I think I'm almost through it so wish me luck!

Before the Journey

This blog is so you can follow me on my journey of being a Young Adult Volunteer (YAV).  The YAV program is a program with the Presbyterian Church that allows young adults to complete a year of service in a variety of locations doing a large variety of mission work.  They have sites all over the world and the United States.  I have been selected along with 7 others to serve in the Belfast Northern Ireland site.  Belfast is an area with a violent history and present which has effected the lives of the entire community.  I will be working with the youth of Fortwilliam and Macrory Presbyterian Church trying to help them move forward in a shared, peaceful future.  I will be leading youth fellowship and aiding in the nearby youth club.  It should be a life changing experience that I look forward to sharing with all of you! 

In the mean time, I will be working on fundraising and preparing to leave.  I need to raise $8,000 over the course of my YAV year, which is about a fourth of my cost.  I would appreciate any and all donations. You can donate online at http://gamc.pcusa.org/give/E210112/  which is the link at the top of the page (I am listed as position 12 ).   If you are interested in donating with a check or cash please contact me at christina.m.tammen@gmail.com.  Feel free to contact me at that e-mail for anything else as well.  Thanks so much for the support!
