PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN of First Presbyterian Church Birmingham Michigan

Thank Offering

This national offering of Presbyterian Women of the Presbyterian Church (USA) is collected each fall and funds projects that meet the needs of people who are aging, disabled, homeless or displaced, as well as children, youth and women, through educational, health, peace and justice programs. Forty percent of this offering is used to support hospitals and community health programs. The remaining 60 percent is used for new creative ideas for mission. More information is linked here.

Birthday Offering

The offering funds up to five projects that are not included in ongoing General Assembly mission support, such as agricultural development, child care, community organization, criminal justice, drug counseling, economic justice, elderly care, employment training, homelessness, literacy, violence and women’s concerns.

Our local PW also collects an offering at Christmas-time that is used to support local mission, such as Baldwin Center in Pontiac, Second Mile Center in Detroit, Alcott School Ministries, and other organizations that directly care for the needy.
