December 1 is World AIDS Day. This day was set aside in 1988 and since then progress has been made in research and treatments.  There is, however, so much more research and pastoral work that needs to be done.  The link below provides up to date information on the AIDS pandemic and the call to prayerful Christian action. http://www.pcusa.org/aids-international/.

Please pray on Sunday, November 30 for the millions of people affected by this disease.  The truth is that we are all affected, and, those who suffer need our support more than ever.
