Peacemaking Offering

On October 4th we will celebrate World Communion Sunday and receive the Peacemaking Offering.  The theme this year is from Ephesians 6:23 "Peace be to the whole community, and love with faith."  This offering supports a variety of peacemaking efforts.

On this day we join with Christians around the world to celebrate the unity that we find at the Table of the Lord.  We receive the Peacemaking Offering to support the efforts of our congregation, our presbytery, our synod, and the General Assembly to spread the peace and justice in places far and near.  25% of the offering will stay in our church, 25% is used by synods and presbyteries, and 50% is allocated to General Assembly ministries.
