Hold Your Own Stewardship Events
Permission is given to reproduce and adapt and customize the worship material prepared for these services below.
Presbyterians Sharing Sunday
Having a special Presbyterians Sharing Sunday is a way for congregations to celebrate the mission we participate in through gifts to Presbyterians Sharing. These complete worship materials allow the Sunday to be lead by ministers or lay leaders in the congregation. The General Assembly has recommended Presbyterians Sharing Sunday be the third Sunday in September or anytime that best fits the schedule of the congregation. (Some use it the beginning of the year, when the Presbyterians Sharing allocation is accepted.)
Legacy Sunday
Holding a Legacy Sunday is an opportunity for congregations to celebrate gifts people have given to the church to support mission and ministry for generations to come. Find worship materials to help your congregation hold their own Legacy Sunday on the third Sunday in November or any other Sunday in the year that works for them.
