2011 Pentecost Offering
The Pentecost Offering is traditionally received on the day of Pentecost (June 12, 2011). It provides a direct way to meet the needs of children at risk, youth, and young adults. Congregations are encouraged to keep 40 percent of the Offering to support ministry with children at risk in their communities.
The General Assembly’s portion (60 percent) provides leadership development opportunities for Presbyterian youth and young adults and supports children-at-risk programs at the national level. Since 1998, Presbyterians of all ages have raised more than $8 million for these ministries that benefit younger members of God’s family.

According to the Pentecost offering materials we are supposed to be able to find the "Sample Letter" online. I don't see it. Where am I not looking? Thanks!

Thanks for letting us know there was a broken link on one of the Pentecost Offering podcasts (Helping Children Overcome Injustice). I have alerted our web/IT folks and it should be fixed soon.

The Peacemaking Offering is not the same as the Witness Offering. The Witness Offering, which supported mission workers, is no longer in existance. The Peacemaking Offering promotes peacemaking efforts of the denomination, synods, presbyteries, and congregations. Congretations keep 25 percent of what they receive for local peacemaking efforts.
