The Christmas Joy Offering will be collected in December. Fifty percent of the offering will help retired church workers with critical housing needs and provide assistance to church workers with urgent financial and medical needs. Half of the offering provides scholarships for people of color at Presbyterian related schools and colleges and helps equip people of color to be pastors and leaders in the church.
The Theology Department at the University of Livingstonia was given $150 from mission funds to purchase e-books to help students with their studies. Tyler Holm, our new mission partner, said books were very scarce at the school. The regular mission distributions will be included in the annual report.
