This year Salisbury Presbyterian Church again participates in the PCSA  Peacemaking Offering . This special offering enables us to support the peacemaking efforts of the church at every governing body level, and provides an opportunity to witness to God's gift of Peace in the world.

The offering allocations for the Peacemaking Offering are as follows: 25% is to be retained by congregations for Peacemaking ministries 25% is used to support presbytery and synod peacemaking efforts 50% is forwarded to the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program of the General Assembly. Our church has an exciting opportunity to support the Peacemaking ministries of our choice using the Peacemaking Offering funds in our community.

The hundreds of millions of dollars Presbyterians have given over the last half-century have enabled a powerful witness to the love of the One who came that all might have life more abundantly.

On the first Sunday in October, SPC will be receiving the special Peacemaking Offering. Please prayerfully consider donating to this special offering. Special offering envelopes will be in the pews for you to use.

If you have any questions about this offering you may contact Ed Olsen, Community Outreach Chair, by email <olsenhokies@comcast.net>, or by phone at 804-379 8009.  For more information check out the PCUSA Peacemaking Offering:  http://www.pcusa.org/peacemakingoffering/index.htm.
