To love and serve God and neighbor with open hearts, open hands, and open minds.
Welcome!
Welcome to Pebble Hill Presbyterian Church! We are a loving and welcoming fellowship of believers who take our faith seriously, but ourselves less so. We encourage a searching and inquiring faith, and we welcome a diversity of viewpoints and expressions. We celebrate God's love in worship through Scripture, prayer, sacraments and music, and we continually search for ways to be witnesses in the world to the love and justice of God which we know in Jesus Christ. You are welcome here. God's doors are always open. - Pastor Peter Shidemantle

Back Pack/School Supplies for 2018-19
It is that time of year to collect backpacks and school supplies for newly arrived immigrant children, (New Americans). Last year Pebble Hill contributed nearly 30 backpacks filled with school supplies for designated children who arrived in 2017. This year, (2018), we have provided approximately ten children with backpacks/school supplies. Five of the children came from a Congolese family comprised of two parents and eight children. Last week, a new family arrived from the Democratic Republic of the Congo with five children who will be starting school this summer. If you are able and wish to support us, you may shop for some of the items listed below or make a monetary contribution to Pebble Hill indicating it is for the backpack/school supply project. Bins will be placed in the Commons to receive the donations that will be delivered to Inter Faith Works in late August. Basic Supplies Needed: Facial tissues Containers of disinfecting wipes #2 lead pencils Pencil top erasers and regular erasers Pencil boxes for little children Crayola markers/ colored pencils Pencil pouches with holes for binders (older kids) Composition books Spiral notebooks Binders, 2” and 3” only Loose leaf paper, wide ruled and college ruled Pocket folders (preferably plastic) with fasteners: Green, yellow, red, blue, orange colors Dry erase markers/ low odor, black, multicolored Highlighters/ yellow and multicolored Glue sticks/ large and small sizes (no liquid glue, please) Ball point pens/ black, blue, red packages Sticky notes Quality back packs, all sizes (Inexpensive backpacks do not last; parents do not have money to replace them nor do they have transportation to stores to make new purchases). In closing, I thank you in advance for any support—prayers included—you are able to give to the Welcome Home Ministry’s Backpack/ School Supplies project. Please know that you are making such a difference in the lives of these newly arrived young people. Alzheimer’s disease is relentless. So are we. Join our team for the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's®, the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research.
Members of the Syracuse Memory Cafe will be participating in the Walk, which will be held on September 29 at Onondaga Community College. Join the team and/or donate to our effort through this link: |
Haiti Educational Mission Partnership in Paulette, Haiti (HEMP) Join Pebble Hill, Park Central and United Church of Fayetteville in helping sponsor a child's education in Haiti! The Haiti Educational Mission Partnership (HEMP) sponsors 100 children in primary school in Paulette. HEMP receives $5,400 annually from French Clubs in schools in the USA and those funds are designated for Primary school K - 6 scholarships for 100 of the neediest children in Paulette. Most of those children do not go on to 7th grade and because of that there is a very high teen pregnancy rate in the village of Paulette. It takes $400 a year to sponsor a student to continue their education past 7th grade. Think of sponsoring or co-sponsoring a child. Call the church for more information or click on the button below.
