Peace and Justice Program
The Peacemaking Offering gives your congregation the opportunity to support peace within your church, community and the world. A Peacemaking Offering packet containing resources to help churches promote the offering is sent to each congregation in May. They include a poster, minutes for mission, worship resources for World Communion Sunday, children’s activities, bulletin inserts, reproducible art, a coin box, a place mat (new this year), and an offering envelope. The Peacemaking Offering is received by most congregations on World Communion Sunday, celebrated the first Sunday in October and is divided as follows:
25% is kept by your church and can be used in the ways your congregation decides make for peace.
75% is sent to Presbytery which
- Sends 67% to General Assembly
- Sends 11% to Synod for peacemaking projects
- Keeps 22% for Presbytery – each year the Peace & Justice Committee decides which agencies to support with its portion.
