Angel Food Ministry
Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing grocery relief and financial support to communities throughout the United States. The program began in 1994 with 34 families in Monroe, Georgia (between Atlanta and Athens), and has grown to serve hundreds of thousands of families every month across 35 states. Angel Food Ministries crosses denominational lines and has spread the good news of the gospel of Christ through salvation tracts that are placed in each food order. By buying food from first rate suppliers at substantial volume discounts, Angel Food Ministries is able to provide families with approximately $65 worth of quality nutritious food for $30. Angel Food Ministries does not use out-of-date food or inferior products. For more information click here.

2nd Sunday Offering
Every second Sunday of the month is now a collection day for non-perishable foods. These foods will be used for the needy of the College Park Community specifically from College Park Presbyterian Church. To participate please place donations in the barrel located in the Fellowship Hall on any second Sunday.

Bible Studies
On the 4th Friday of each month, at 7:00 p.m., we are studying the book of Hebrews. "Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son" begins the book of Hebrews. Please join us as we seek to understand and grow through this word from God. It is a book of deep theology that helps bind both Old and New Testaments. It is a book of pastoral care that desires the Church to grow in maturity and wisdom. The book of Hebrews weaves a beautiful tapestry of theology and exhortation which we as the Church of today need just as much as the Church of the past. This study will begin in January and will be taught by Samuel Weems. If you are interested in joining please contact Samuel Weems or Mary Ealy for more information.
Each Sunday, two adult groups meet to study a Bible-centered study. One group uses the Presbyterian Curriculum, The Present Word, and currently this focuses on The New Testament Community. One of the discussions in October will be from Acts 2:5-13, how people responded to the signs of God’s Holy Spirit. God communicates in a unified voice to people fractured into various languages and dialects. The Holy Spirit empowers the disciples to proclaim and praise God’s mighty saving acts in Jesus. Peter declares in Acts 2:38 that the last days have begun in Jesus’ birth and will conclude with Jesus’ return. He will conclude with a call to repent for the forgiveness of sins.
The other adult class, Crosstalk, currently studies the Old Testament books of the prophets. Presently, they are studying the book of Hosea. They seek to see the Bible prophesies revealed in the New Testament as they discuss the meaning of these books in light of today’s moral dilemmas, daily life, political climate, and relationships. Each class is taught by a class member in rotation and the class struggles together to find truth. Here are samples of the questions: Where do many of today’s leaders turn for powerful help as a substitute for God? What sort of gain tempts you to compromise your loyalty to Christ? What sometimes makes a lie more attractive than the truth?
The Presbyterian Women engage in the HORIZON’S Bible Study from a magazine produced by the Presbyterian Church auspices. This year the study is entitled Jubilee! Luke’s Gospel to the Poor. Nancy Fuleihan, who teaches the study to both circles is excited about the content and how well it aligns with other church Bible studies this year. Lesson One will begin with the October Circle Meetings of both Faith and Grace Circles (check calendar). This in-depth study continually asks women, “Who is Jesus to YOU?” As always, the circles pray earnestly for each other and support each other’s work. The Gospel of Luke seeks to teach us how to be Christians.

Life's difficult question have answers. Answers from the Bible that can change your outlook. Come join us every Thursday morning at 7:30 am as we journey through these questions and more, as we read this thought provoking book by Rick Warren. He is often called 'America's most influential spiritual leader' and has trained over 350,000 pastors worldwide. In this book Rick Warren helps examine some of those difficult questions we will face in our lives.

Society of St. Andrew's Gleaning
The Society of St. Andrew's network uses volunteers to glean nutritious produce from farmers' fields and orchards after the harvest. This food instead of being left behind to rot is delivered to those in need. College Park Presbyterian Church has had a history of working with the Society of St. Andrews and found these events to be enjoyable ways to help provide for the community. Please contact Don Wadsworth or the Society of St. Andrew's website for more information. You can also go to the Society of St. Andrew's calendar to check out upcoming gleanings to participate in.
