Using hymns at Presbyerian Women events
From Presbyterian Mission Agency—Presbyterian Women

Variations on the French Reformed Church Baptismal Liturgy
From Presbyterian Mission Agency—Theology and Worship
For several decades, variations on a portion of the French Reformed Church baptismal liturgy have been used in PC(USA) congregations. When infants are baptized, the minister addresses the child directly, proclaiming the sure promise of God. The Office of Theology and Worship provides these examples, noting that no single set of words is "right." Pastoral judgment may lead to particular variations.
Whatever words are used, the pastor should address the child directly, and should strive to speak rather than read.

Walking the labyrinth
From Presbyterian Mission Agency—Spiritual Formation
The labyrinth is an ancient tool for prayer and meditation, consisting of a winding path that begins at the periphery and leads to a central space, and then out again by the same path. It differs from a maze in that a labyrinth has no blind alleys or dead ends. It is not meant to trick you but to be a means to a journey on a path, inward and outward bound.
