Three PC(USA) Special Offerings for 2026

 

In 2026 there will be three PC(USA) Special Offerings, a change from the four that had been in place. The Offerings give individual congregations the opportunity to join with other Presbyterians in doing the larger work of the church:

One Great Hour of Sharing
February 18 – April 5

Supporting ministries of compassion through causes addressing hunger, disaster, poverty, climate change, and immigration/migration and refugees. Typically received during Lent and Easter, this Offering helps to improve the lives of people in these challenging situations.

World Communion Offering
September 6 – October 4

Cultivating reconciliation by supporting racial and gender justice, peacemaking efforts, global witness and nurturing ecumenical and interfaith relations. The Offering is received around World Communion Sunday, October 4.

Christmas Joy Offering
November 29 – December 20

Supporting causes and ministries that serve God’s children, including youth and young adults, leadership development for people of color, and servants of the church in need. The Offering is received during the Advent and Christmas season.
