CHRISTMAS JOY
OFFERING. Presbyterians have long celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ by
giving generously to an Advent offering. The Christmas Joy Offering dates back to the1930’s when the PCUS began an
offering to supplement inadequate retirement income and provide supplemental
medical insurance for former ministers, missionaries, church workers, and their
families. In the late 1940’s that became the Joy Gift. In 1989 the offering was
renamed the Christmas Joy Offering, and in 1991 the 203rd General
Assembly changed the distribution of funds to 50 percent to the Board of
Pensions and 50 percent to the Presbyterian racial ethnic schools and colleges.
CHANGE OF TIME!
On Sunday, December 23, Westminster
Choir rehearses for 15 minutes immediately following morning worship, saving a
trip to church later in the day.
