As an extension of its mission and ministry Preachers’ Aid Society has Retiree Representatives on each District who are willing to:

 Preach a Christian message (not a promotion for the Society) in local congregations at no cost to the congregation

 Speak to gatherings of persons in local congregations and at the District level about the work of our Society

 Bring materials for use in congregations that will interpret the work of the Society and assist in Planned Giving to the congregation and beyond

Preachers’ Aid Society is proud to have Rev. Jon Almond as its Retiree Representative on the RISEM District.
