    Publishing Corporation Launches Disaster Relief Program 
 
    Free Resources Will be Provided to Replace Destroyed Ones 
 
    by Jerry L. Van Marter 
 
LOUISVILLE, Ky.-The Presbyterian Publishing Corporation (PPC) has announced 
a new program that will proved a free supply of hymnals, Bibles and other 
resources to replace those damaged by fire or other major disasters in 
Presbyterian churches. 
 
    The new Disaster Relief Program requires only that the pastor and 
presbytery executive complete and return a simple enrollment form following 
the disaster.  The program is available to replace resources lost in fires, 
floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and other disasters. 
 
    The resource selection includes up to 25 copies of "The Presbyterian 
Hymnal," up to 10 copies of the NRSV Bible, all Presbyterian catechism 
resources plus Sunday bulletins and devotional and study books.  PPC will 
also pay shipping. 
 
    In addition, for a year after the disaster, churches will be eligible 
for a special one-time 20 percent discount on nearly all PPC books and 
resources 
 
    "For the past several years, on an informal basis, we have sent 
hymnals, books and resources to churches in distress whenever we were 
contacted or made aware of any given situation," said PPC president and 
publisher Davis Perkins.  "By formalizing a disaster relief program, we can 
broaden this assistance and better serve all PC(USA) churches," he added. 
 
    For more information about PPC's Disaster Relief Program, contact Monty 
Anderson, PPC's customer service manager at 100 Witherspoon St., 
Louisville, KY 40202; by phone at 502-569-5067; or by fax at 502-569-5113.
