#MissionMonday – Special Offerings of the PC(USA)

Posted on by

It’s Amazing What Happens When We Join Together

Throughout the year there are several special offerings Nassau contributes to in the PC(USA). During the pandemic, the Mission & Outreach Committee has committed to continuing the average gift for these offerings even as we haven’t “passed the plate” on Sunday mornings. For example, Nassau continued to give to the Christmas Joy Offering this winter to support current and retired church workers in their time of need and leadership development at Presbyterian-related colleges equipping communities of color.

Presbyterians are part of a remarkable tradition. The PC(USA)’s four church-wide Special Offerings help share Christ’s love with millions of people around the world. God has blessed the Church with incredible leadership in every time and place, but those leaders often need to be supported by their communities as well. The Christmas Joy Offering addresses the support needed by some of our leaders, including supporting leadership development for communities of color, and providing support for Presbyterian church workers in their time of need.

By giving to the Christmas Joy Offering, you honor God’s gift of Jesus Christ by providing assistance to current and retired church workers in their time of need and developing our future leaders at Presbyterian-related schools and colleges equipping communities of color.

#MissionMonday – SSVP-Lebanon

Posted on by

To Serve in Hope

In late January, the Mission & Outreach Committee approved a grant to support the Society of Saint Vincent De Paul–Lebanon in their COVID relief efforts. They quickly used the funds to purchase 8 oxygen concentrators. The need in Lebanon is great. Our support will not address all the suffering, but it has helped a number of elderly community members survive the pandemic. Please join the Mission & Outreach Committee in praying for the people of Lebanon.

 

St. Vincent dePaul (website)

Founded in 1833 by a group of young laymen, the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul is a lay Catholic organization of women and men, who wished to put their faith into action. From the start, the Society has been under the patronage of Saint Vincent de Paul, a great saint, well-known for his works of charity.

The members of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul maintain the Vincentian spirit. Their vocation rests on two basic principles: continuing prayers (deepening their faith) and the meeting with Christ through the poor. These principles lead them to serve the very poorest with a deep respect, no matter where they come from, or what they believe, thus developing long-term and personal relationships.

The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul-Lebanon was founded 1860 with the main objective to provide assistance to the poorer and supply them with their most urgent needs.
