As we receive the Peace & Global Witness Offering until World Communion Sunday (October 6), we recognize they do so with many concerns on their hearts for our siblings around the world. Climate change, violence and the refugee crisis in so many countries are humanitarian disasters of particular concern.
The Offering offers congregations ways to support relief efforts for these issues while also supporting the peacemaking work of their mid councils and the PC(USA). Twenty-five percent of the Offering will stay in our community to support Safe Haven Shelter, and 25% stays with our mid council to support peacemaking and reconciliation in our own community and region.
