Oakland Avenue Presbyterian Church collects six special offerings. These are collected for specific purposes and are over and above regular tithes, pledges, and undesignated gifts.
Links in the upper right corner of our home page allow you to give toward these offerings. You may also text OAPC to 73256 to donate by text message.
Four of these Special Offerings are for programs of the General Assembly, which is the highest organizational body of the church. These four offerings help fund programs that are too extensive for any one church or even a presbytery to fund alone. They are:
-
Christmas Joy Offering: Third Sunday of December, Dec. 13, 2020 (at both worship Services)
-
One Great Hour of Sharing: Easter Sunday, April 12, 2020 (give online, by text, or mail check); view "We are the Church Together" here.
-
Peace & Global Witness Offering: First Sunday of October, Oct. 4, 2020 (at both worship services)
-
Pentecost Offering: Pentecost Sunday, May 31, 2020, (virtual worship through May; please donate by check or online through our home page.)
