2. During Advent we will be collecting the Christmas Joy Offering.  This is one of the PCUSA special offerings.  When we give to the Christmas Joy Offering, we prepare the way for the leaders of our Church – past, present and future.  50% of these gifts smooth the path for current and retired church workers and their families in their time of need.  The other 50% prepare students to learn and grow in faith at Presbyterian-related schools and colleges equipping communities of color.  Envelopes are provided on the table by the church entrance or you can write “Christmas Joy Offering” on the memo line of your check.
