Christmas Joy Offering

Supporting the Christmas Joy Offering honors 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.

The Christmas Joy Offering has been a cherished Presbyterian tradition since the 1930s. The Offering distributes gifts equally to the Assistance Program of the Board of Pensions and to Presbyterian-related schools and colleges equipping communities of color. The Assistance Program provides critical financial support to church workers and their families. Presbyterian-related schools and colleges provide education and leadership development while nurturing racial and ethnic heritage. This has been a Presbyterian commitment for nearly 140 years.

We will have special Christmas Joy offering envelopes in the pews and you may leave them in the offering plate. Or you may mail them to Monterey Presbyterian Church, P. O. Box 306, Monterey, VA 24465.
