The Mission Ministry has scheduled two special collections in May – one for Presbyterian Homes of Georgia on Mother’s Day, May 10; and the other for programs assisting youth and young adults on Pentecost Sunday, May 24.
The Mother’s Day collection benefits Presbyterian Homes of Georgia (PHG), a Christian ministry providing exceptional services to enhance the quality of life for senior adults. It is a statewide ministry, serving more than 1,000 residents on five campuses with a sixth campus in development. Leaders and staff provide the highest standards of care for all residents regardless of their financial circumstances, socioeconomic status, and racial/ethnic background. PHG promotes the wellness of residents through innovative programming for mind, body, and spirit. This service for frail and elderly believers depends largely on the covenant giving of congregations throughout the state, and St. Andrews has conducted the Mother’s Day collection for many years.
The Pentecost Offering, one of four Special Denominational Offerings, provides a tangible way to bring God’s transforming love to children at risk, to guide and nurture the faith of young people, and to call forth a new generation of church leadership through the PC (USA) Young Adult Volunteer (YAV) program.
Gifts to the Pentecost Offering help the church encourage, develop, and support its young people. 40% of the Pentecost offering can be retained by individual congregations wanting to make an impact in the lives of young people within their own community. The remaining 60% is used by the Presbyterian Mission Agency to improve the lives of youth and young adults around the world through such programs as the Youth Triennium and Young Adult Volunteers (YAVs). From advocacy that nurtures and protects our children, to ministries that inspire youth and those called to accompany them in their walk with Christ, your gifts serve young adults worldwide by bringing them together in fellowship, worship, and service.
When God poured out his Holy Spirit on the church at Pentecost, he created a new community-the church. There was an incredible unity among Christians at that time, according to Luke: “All who believed were together and had all things in common”.
St. Andrews will celebrate Pentecost May 24. On that day wear red and bring your gift to join with others in the transformation of young lives!
