While Tenth currently supports many partners laboring in these parts of the world, we have a vision for seeing this number increase. With that in mind, all gifts dedicated to the July Project of the Month will be allocated to unreached people groups. Cash or checks made payable to Tenth Presbyterian Church, with July Project of the Month on the memo line, may be placed in offering plates or one of the oak boxes at the Sanctuary entrances. * Congregation standing
