Pentecost Offering
The 226th General Assembly (2024) approved an update to the Special Offerings to be received in a calendar year to become three instead of four beginning 2026. With this approval, the Pentecost Offering was celebrated and received for the last time in 2025. The ministries and causes supported by the Pentecost Offering — children at risk, youth and young adults — are still vital to the PC(USA) and will now have a home under the Christmas Joy Offering.
Thank you for your commitment to the Pentecost Offering and ensuring that we are laying a foundation of faith for our young people. We hope you will continue to support these ministries through your participation in the Christmas Joy Offering.
Opportunities from the Presbyterian Giving Catalog
One Small Egg Can Change the World
Spring is a season of renewal — longer days, warming soil and the quiet miracle of new life bursting forth from humble beginnings that we celebrated on Easter Day. The Presbyterian Giving Catalog invites your community to celebrate Jesus’ gift of renewal by joining the Church as we work together to end hunger alongside our global partners.
Hatch Hope with the Coop Club
A single egg is small, but for a family facing food insecurity, it can be reliable nourishment and a source of income. Through the Giving Catalog’s Coop Club, your congregation or mid council can either:
Give a Family of Chickens each month, providing eggs, feathers, fertilizer and a sustainable source of food and income, or
Give an Egg a Day for an entire year, a one-time gift, helping to hatch hope for our global neighbors.
You can help build excitement for the Coop Club by ordering these free livestock masks and encouraging your children and youth to organize a mask parade during worship one Sunday!
Join Presbyterian Climate Action Team of Citizens’ Climate Lobby and the Presbyterian Hunger Program for Advocacy: Love in Action
We’ll begin by highlighting a few churches that are currently engaged in climate advocacy and then spend the second half of the program inviting input from attending churches — sharing how they’re engaging in advocacy and then responding to questions. This one-hour program is for all churches interested in strengthening their “advocacy muscles,” from those just getting started to congregations with extensive experience.
Participants are asked to complete this short survey before the webinar: forms.gle/vRRrdhCHXtBNRULC6.
Date: May 18

Debuting Presbyterian Women's new Bible study
Presbyterian Women's 2026–2027 Bible study, United Through Christ, Bound to Each Other: Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians (presbyterianwomen.org/product/united-through-christ-bound-to-each-other-english-edition), by Rhonda Mawhood Lee, is now available. Other editions and support resources follow.
About the study: Paul wrote at a time when Christians expected Jesus' imminent return. Two thousand years later, the church is still waiting, still affirming that Jesus will return, and still proclaiming that this world has already been transformed by God's life-giving love. Our challenge is to live in ways that demonstrate our trust in the resurrection.
