Christmas Joy Offering— Sunday, December 20

The Holy Spirit can bring unexpected gifts — that’s the heart of the Christmas Joy Offering — it allows a person the chance to help others with unexpected needs. A Presbyterian tradition for almost seventy years, the Christmas Joy Offering is one of four special offerings designated by the General Assembly (GA.)

A gift to the Christmas Joy Offering helps the church explore its partnership with families and individuals throughout their lives. Half the offering supports racial ethnic schools and colleges where students can discover their call and develop the skills to respond to it. The other half supports the assistance programs of the Board of Pensions, that provide support to retired and active church workers and their spouses and families.
