Monday morning, May 23, 2016, on behalf of the PRC Contact Committee, Professors R.Cammenga and B.Gritters will travel to Namibia and South Africa until June 7.
They will lecture in South Africa for old contacts. New developments in the Namibian churches, visited in 2010, have prompted these churches to ask for another visit.

Have you noticed what's new on the PRCA website lately?
In order to keep you informed of new content and features on this website, from time to time we plan to make such a "What's New?" news item. Here are a few things to keep you up-to-date in the last few months:
That's it for now! Look for more "What's New?" updates in the future!
The Protestant Reformed Psalm Singing Choir came into existence specifically to celebrate the psalms God has given us to praise Him. In honor of this celebration, the choir records a few psalms every year and makes them available for purchase so that others can celebrate and praise God through the psalms. Volume 18 of Fitting Praises is available for the introductory price of $8.00. All proceeds from the sales will be donated to a cause of the choir’s choice.
To order online go to psalmchoir.com and pay by PayPal or credit card. You may also fill out an order form found in the back of your church and send it to the address indicated. You will also find this CD and the previous volumes of Fitting Praises in the Reformed Book Outlet in Hudsonville, MI.
Did you know that you can watch and listen to the Psalm Choir videos and many other performances of the Psalms by various choirs by visiting the Psalm Choir YouTube channel? This is a wonderful way to feed your soul with God's Word through the richness of the Psalms.
Attached here is one such video from their May 3, 2015 concert.
With many newly elected officebearers being installed at the beginning of the year, these men - as well as all of our members - are hereby made aware of several sources of materials for your profit on the PRC website.
The first is a special officebearer resource section created just for pastors, elders, and deacons. You will find this under the "Resource Library" tab on the home page, under the heading "Officebearer Materials." You are encouraged to check out the varied resources available here - from sermons, to suggested books, to pamphlets and articles - all related to your work in the church.
Another area is that of "Official Documents" (also under the Resource Library section), where you will find the our creeds, the Church Order, the Liturgical Forms, and the Questions of the church visitors. And don't forget that our catechism materials are all available on the website too.
Another important section in the Resource Library is that of "Forms/Certificates" - especially important for clerks and secretaries.
And finally, there is also a special category of sermons preached on the occasion of installation and ordination that will be profitable for listening and learning.
Let's remember to pray for our spiritual leaders as they serve the Lord and us in Christ's church.
