Cuba Advocacy
Larry Cuthill, our Cuba Partnership Team Advocacy Coordinator, has provided the draft letter to support our Cuban brothers and sisters. They can't advocate with our government for themselves, but we can. This is one of the most important things we can do to help them - to speak up and tell the stories of what we have seen in Cuba. We urge you to consider using this letter, either as is, or as a template for your own letter, and to send it to the President, your senators and representatives.
Please remember to speak as an individual, not as a representative of your church, session, etc. (unless your session chooses to endorse the letter). Thank you for your heart for our brothers and sisters in Cuba. Pat Zinn, Ken Lasseter, Randy Simpson

Leadership Training Program
Our 2019 goal of $5,000 to was reached. Watch for the 2020 Goal!
For the past 2 years, one of the goals of the Cuba Partnership Team of Central Florida Presbytery has been to help El Centro Presbytery, Cuba provide training for their lay leaders. The only seminary where theology and other church courses are taught is 300 km away. That is why it is so valuable for pastors and other church leaders to be able to participate in lay leadership programs in Bible, Liturgy, Christian Education, and Vocation.

A Message from Jo Ella Holman
|
We have all heard of the hardships being created for Cuban families with the closing of consular (visa) services in the US Embassy in Cuba. U.S. church leaders, including the PC(USA), this week sent a letter to Congress asking them to reopen the services in Cuba, the Embassy and drop the travel advisory.

We encourage you to contact your Senator or Representative in Congress on the points raised in the letter.
In peace,
