Worldwide Missions
Fellowship of the Least Coin
Collected at each circle meeting, the Fellowship of the Least Coin is an ecumenical prayer movement that links prayer and "least coins" in a very significant way. The least coin becomes the symbol of prayer for peace and reconciliation. As coins are gathered from around the world, they become a sign of our oneness in the common quest for peace, justice, and reconciliation.
Thank Offering
This Presbyterian Women offering is collected in the fall of each year and gives women a tangible way to express their gratitude for the special blessing in their lives. At least forty percent of the offering supports health ministries throughout the world. The remaining sixty percent of the offering funds new creative ideas for mission.
Birthday Offering
Collected at the May Birthday Gathering, this offering funds up to five projects that are not included in the ongoing General Assembly mission support such as agricultural development, child care, community organization, criminal justice, drug counseling, economic justice, elderly care, employment training, homelessness, literacy, violence, and women's concerns.
