Pentecost Offering

After Easter through Pentecost Sunday, we are collecting  another special offering, Pentecost Offering.

This offering unites us in a church-wide effort to support young people and inspire them to share their faith, ideas, and unique gifts with the church and the world. Psalm 71 testifies that a foundation of faith established during childhood helps ensure lifelong faith and service. The patterns and lessons established during these formative years continue to bear fruit throughout a person's life. By receiving the Pentecost Offering, you are nurturing the faith of children, youth, and young adults.

·  40% is retained by congregations to support work with at-risk children, youth and young adults in their local community.

·  50% supports ministries with youth and young adults.

·  10% supports child advocacy/children at risk.

The final stretch of that journey was marked by Palm Sunday, April 13 th , ushering us into Holy Week—a week-long culmination of reflection, devotion, and remembrance of Christ’s Passion. Our Easter morning worship was filled with beauty and praise! The sanctuary resounded with lovely singing voices, a wonderful Bell Choir, and the inspiring sounds of Lisa ’s piano and Bud ’s organ. It was a glorious celebration of the Resurrection, reminding us once again that Christ is risen indeed! Audio Devotional During Lent, Pastor Je recorded daily devotionals from the PCUSA resource These Days. Neal Crouse took on the task of transforming these audio recordings into beautifully crafted video devotionals. Video production is no small feat, and we are deeply grateful to Neal —not only for this meaningful project, but for all the ways he ser...
