Dear Friend,
Grace and peace to you! We know your congregation cares deeply about those who are impacted by all forms of conflict, and you weep with those who suffer. Our world is conflicted right now as peace is threatened in the Middle East and as people suffer in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. This Sunday, World Communion Sunday, is a day when thousands of our PC(USA) congregations remind ourselves that we are part of a global community bound together in Christ Jesus, at the table with those who reside in a storm’s aftermath or where peace does not prevail. The Peace & Global Witness Offering, one of the Church’s four churchwide Special Offerings, helps congregations commit to the work of peace in mighty ways. In times such as these, we are reminded that peacemaking extends to places experiencing both natural and human-caused disasters.
Many congregations have reached out to us wondering how they might continue the work of peacemaking through the Peace & Global Witness Offering while supporting Presbyterian Disaster Assistance recovery efforts. This Sunday, when you receive the Peace & Global Witness Offering, we invite you to consider designating the 25% you retain through the Peace & Global Witness Offering as an offering to support Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. All you need to do is use the link below or send a check to Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), P.O. Box 643700, Pittsburgh, PA 15264-3700.
