PW Thank Offering: Recipient #3

You will be enriched in every way for your great generosity, which will produce thanksgiving to God through us; for the rendering of this ministry not only supplies the needs of the saints but also overflows with many thanksgivings to God. Corinthians 9:11-12

Each year Presbyterian Women and Friends heed the call of Paul to “supply the need of the saints” through giving to the Thank Offering. This grant program allocates 40% of the funds to health related ministries. Of the eight grants this year, six serve people in the United States and two are international.

From the Synod of the Mid-Atlantic, the SAFEchild (Stop Abuse For Every Child) project in North Carolina is the leading voice for child abuse prevention through evaluation, intervention and treatment. Specialized interviews are often a turning point in children’s lives, placing them on a path to recovery. The grant will provide for the purchase of discrete cameras and microphones to record interviews at SAFEchild’s advocacy center. Through prevention and intervention services, this program offers children and families a safer future, where they can find support and live into their true capabilities and callings.

The scriptural passage tells us that we must give in a way that honors God, plain and simple.  Everything belongs to God first. As we receive more blessings in life, we are more able to give generously. We are blessed to be a blessing to others. 

Your gifts will bless many others. You may use the offering envelopes in the pew racks, give online or mail donations to the church office. Make checks payable to “PW Thank Offering.”  Thank you for your generosity.
