Church Mission Giving Resource Packet Coming in September to You

Each church in the Des Moines Presbytery will receive a packet for pastors, Mission committee chairpersons, and clerks of Session in late September from the General Assembly Mission Council of the PC(USA). This packet will have materials to help sessions make decisions about their mission giving in 2011.

Included in this year’s stewardship promotional materials are:

  • a printed World Mission Giving Opportunities catalog
  • a flier promoting Shared Mission Support at all levels of the church, which also explains how the General Assembly Mission Council uses its portion of Shared Mission Support
  • a flier promoting resources for congregational giving campaigns from our partners at the Ecumenical Stewardship Center
  • a flier with information from the Presbyterian Foundation on long-term giving opportunities
  • a cover letter explaining the packet and providing instructions on accessing the online searchable listing of giving opportunities.
Watch the Seconds for Stewardship box weekly in The Wider Circle E-news, and pray for ways you can help the church ministry and mission, both regionally and nationally.
