One of four special collections from PCUSA, the Pentecost Offering is used to encourage, develop, and support the Church’s young people. Of the total that we collect, 60 percent is sent on to the Presbyterian Mission Agency to help at-risk children, and 40 percent is to be managed by us for use in our community. This year, we will contribute the 40 percent to Rescue Ministries of Mid-Michigan and its Samaritan Youth Shelter (short-term emergency housing for youth ages 12 to 17) and Labadie Lofts (housing for young adults who aged out of foster care).

The Pentecost Offering runs April 1 through May 19. We will celebrate this special offering on Sunday, May 19. Please give via Realm, PCUSA, or pew envelope. Thank you!
