2010 Pentecost Offering  

Join us on May 23, 2010, as we celebrate the Day of Pentecost and receive the Pentecost Offering.  On this day we join with Christians around the world to celebrate God’s gift of the Holy spirit to the church.  The Pentecost Offering benefits children at risk, youth, and young adults.  40% of the offering stays with our congregation for ministry with children at risk. The other 60% will support General Assembly advocates for children and provide leadership development for our youth and young adults.

FROM YOUR MISSION COMMITTEE

Now accepting donations for Haiti

At the Mission Committee meeting held on Monday, February 23, we spent some time thinking about our participation in the work of Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA). PDA has existed for a number of years, but it was really in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita that we began encouraging the members and friends of our congregation to financially support the ministry Presbyterians are carrying out in the world.

PDA has grown into a major ministry of the Presbyterian Church (USA). If you want to check out what they are doing on our behalf, go to www.pcusa.org/pda and spend some time exploring their web-site. You will find a wealth of information about the ministry of PDA including areas they are currently engaged in helping to rebuild lives and communities, and ways they help to witness to the healing love of Christ through caring for those adversely affected by crisis and catastrophe.

One way you can help is by contributing to the work of PDA through our local church. The stated goal in our Mission Budget is to provide $363.00 of support during 2009. This, in and of itself, might not seem like a lot of money, and in fact, it isn’t. But, if every Presbyterian Church (USA) congregation would do the same, it would total nearly $4,000,000.00. If this is a goal you feel God is calling you to help us reach, simply make your check payable to the church and write “PDA” on the memo line. We’ll make sure it gets to the right place. Through your gifts lives can be and are changed.
