Peace & Global Witness Special Offering

The Peace & Global Witness Offering encourages the church to cast off anxiety and fear, discord and division, and embrace our God's mission of reconciliation to those around the corner and around the world.

Unique among the special offerings, Takoma Park Presbyterian Church retains 25 percent of all the funds raised for our own peacemaking activities or to support peace and justice efforts of our own choosing. Fifty percent of the funds raised support PCUSA global missions and the remaining 25 percent support peace and reconciliation activities at the synod level.

A gift to the Peace & Global Witness Offering enables the church to promote the Peace of Christ at multiple levels.

At the most recent Social Witness and Action Committee meeting it was decided that this year, our 25 percent share of the offering will go to provide financial support for resettling Afghan refugees in the DMV area via Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services (LIRS), the leading faith-based provider of such services, through their special fund called Neighbors in Need: Afghan Allies Fund.

Please Give Generously – As we celebrate World Communion Sunday together with our TPPC friends but also with the church worldwide, please prayerfully consider a generous gift to the Peace & Global Witness Special Offering to support the church’s witness for peace globally and at home!

How? – It's simple. Make a check out to TPPC in whatever amount you choose. On the check subject line, write "Peace & Global Witness Offering." Put the check in the collection basket or mail it to the church office at 310 Tulip Avenue, Takoma Park, MD 20912. Thanks!
