Special Offerings

The 226th General Assembly (2024) took action to reduce the number of Churchwide Special Offerings from four to three beginning 2026. Entering this new season, the three Offerings will be centered on the prophet Micah’s call “to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God” (6:8) and continue to support the PC(USA) ministries and causes important in the life of the church. Learn about the changes to Special Offerings, including the General Assembly action, the changes this year, the Special Offerings calendar, and more.

One Great Hour of Sharing

One Great Hour of Sharing is the single, largest way Presbyterians come together every year to work for a better world and provides us a way to share God’s love so that all God’s people can flourish. Typically received on Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday, the annual Offering supports PC(USA) ministries around the causes of disaster, hunger, poverty, climate change, immigration, migration and refugees.

Download resources including worship, curriculum, and minutes for mission. All resources and information for Offering interpretation are present, just organized a bit differently. If you can’t find something you are looking for or have questions, email [email protected].
