Clark – Mission Committee moderator
Longtime Presbyterians Jan Clark and her husband, John, joined
the Kirk in 2008 after moving from Lincoln, Neb. They had previously
lived in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for 40 years where Jan had served
as an elder at First Presbyterian Church.
Jan has served on the Kirk Mission Committee; cooks with the Greenhorns,
and is a leader for her Presbyterian Women's circle. She and John
are co-leaders of their Shepherd Group.
Mission
The Kirk in the Pines' active mission program provides spiritual,
monetary, and hands-on support for over 25 local, national and
international programs. Kirk members supply more than 32 bags
of groceries each month to various local groups, including a crisis
center for homeless families and a crisis center for abused women
and their children. Through the Christmas Giving Tree the congregation
gives presents to local children who might not otherwise experience
the joy of Christmas. Dedicated offerings help support Presbytery
and Synod missions, Presbyterian colleges and universities, Vera
Lloyd Center and our very active Presbyterian Camp at Ferncliff.
