The Peacemaking Offering

From the Presbyterian Mission Agency, the ministry and mission arm of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.):

"The Peacemaking Offering supports the peacemaking efforts of the church at every governing body level and provides an opportunity to witness to God's gift of peace in the world. Gifts given to the Peacemaking Offering through a congregation are divided in the following manner - twenty-five percent retained by congregations for support of their own peacemaking ministry; 25 percent used to support presbytery and synod peacemaking efforts; and 50 percent forwarded to the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program of the Presbyterian Mission Agency so that it can continue to provide assistance and resources for congregations and other bodies of the PC(USA). Online gifts to the Peacemaking Offering are used on the General Assembly level."

The Peacemaking Offering will be collected on World Communion Sunday, October 6, 2013. Our pledge boxes contain an envelope for contributions. Other envelopes will be available in Swain Hall the last Sunday in September.
