Thank Offering Sunday - Sunday, November 24
The history of Presbyterian Women Thank Offering Sunday goes back to 1888 when a Presbyterian Ohio woman named Eliza Clokey urged each woman to give one dollar over and above her usual contribution. Year after year, women have responded to Clokey's call to give a "thank offering to her Lord," and have raised tens of millions of dollars for mission at home and around the world.

We will ask you to come back promptly at 1 pm and join us in our Sanctuary as the children will put on a musical show using the bells. Following the musical show, we ask that you join us in Fellowship Hall for light refreshments.
