PW PURPOSE

Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ,

and empowered by the Holy Spirit,

we commit ourselves:

To nurture our faith through prayer and Bible study,

To support the mission of the church worldwide,

To work for justice and peace, and

To build an inclusive, caring community of women

that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (USA)

and witnesses to the promise of God’s kingdom.

PW Celebration of Mission

Through Women’s Pledges

Over and above her pledge to the local church, each woman who is a member of PW

is encouraged to make an annual pledge through PW in the Congregation for …

the support of the mission of the church worldwide and

the basic operating budget of PW at the Congregation, Presbytery, Synod and

church wide levels.

PW in the Congregation’s operating budget includes necessary expenses for

meetings of the coordinating team, purchase of resources, administrative costs, and

a share of support for the basic operating budget of PW in the Presbytery. It might

also include expenses for short - or long-term projects that relate to the PW Purpose

and the goals for the year adopted by PW in the Congregation.

PW in the Presbytery’s operating budget is funded by money received from PW

groups in the congregations within the Presbytery on a basis that is initially

determined through a consultative process with these groups. The budget includes

necessary expenses for meetings of the coordinating team, purchase of resources,

administrative costs, and a share of support for the basic operating budget of PW in

the Synod as determined by consultation between PW groups at the Presbytery and

Synod levels. Changes in the amount of support are made after consultation

between appropriate groups.

PW in the Synod’s operating budget is funded by money received from PW groups at

the Presbytery level as determined by consultation between the PW groups at

Presbytery and Synod levels.

With the exception of money for the operating budget of PW in the Congregation, all

women’s gifts are remitted to the treasurer of PW in the Presbytery for proper

distribution.

PW Celebration of Creative Ministries

Birthday Offering

In 1922, 10 years after the Women’s Auxiliary of the Presbyterian Church in the United

States (PCUS) was formed, the women sought an appropriate way to celebrate what

the Auxiliary had meant to them. Mrs. Hallie Paxson Winsborough, superintendent of

Women’s Work, touring mission stations in Asia, visited Miss Dowd’s School for Girls

in Kochi, Japan. She saw inadequate facilities and crowded rooms and recognized a

need that could be met by Presbyterian women in the United States. Returning home

she challenged all the women of the church to give one penny for each year of their

lives (or a dollar if they didn’t want to tell) as a “birthday gift” to those school girls in

Japan. Thus began a tradition of annual Women of the Church Birthday Celebrations.

The offerings have enabled a long succession of new and often innovative mission

projects to be accomplished both overseas and in the United States.

Presbyterian Women continues this tradition. The Birthday Offering is received in the

spring and may be dedicated at spring gatherings. Up to five projects are designated

by the Creative Ministries Offering Committee for funding.

Thank Offering

(Including Health Ministries)

The Thank Offering began when Mrs. Eliza Clokey of Springfield, Ohio urged each

woman to give over and above her usual contribution to the Women’s General

Missionary Society of the United Presbyterian Church of North America as a “thank

offering to her Lord.” In 1888, a day was set aside for meetings which were to be a

“concert of prayer and praise and the gathering of the Thank Offering.” The gifts given

represented much soul-searching and self-sacrificing on the parts of many women.

The impact they made was immeasurable. It has been said that women’s giving saved

the worldwide missionary movement at that time. The thrust of how and where the

money was used changed over the years, but a “thank offering to her Lord” continued

to be an important part of women’s giving by United Presbyterian Women.

This expression of thanksgiving is an important part of Presbyterian Women. The

Thank Offering (including Health Ministries) is received in the fall and may be dedicat-

ed at fall gatherings. Forty percent is designated to support hospitals and other health

ministries throughout the world. The balance of funds generated is used for new,

creative areas of mission, undesignated in advance. Specific projects are selected by

the Creative Ministries Offering Committee from project proposals submitted. All allo-

cations are reported to PW and published in the July/August issue of Horizons with a

list of available interpretive materials.

PW Celebration of Christian Community

Fellowship of the Least Coin

Fellowship of the Least Coin links prayer and least coins of many countries in a very

significant way, as the least coin becomes the symbol of prayer for peace and recon-

ciliation. It was begun in 1956 by Shanti Solomon of India, who believed that women

anywhere could have a sense of being part of a worldwide family of faith as they

prayed for peace and reconciliation in the family, the community, the nation, and

the world, setting aside the least coin of their country as a token of that prayer. The

giving of the least coin was to be only a symbol of the prayer for peace, a symbol

made more significant by the gathering of the least coins from throughout the world

into a common fund where the identity of the donor is lost and oneness of women

in their common fund is symbolized.

Each year, 35 to 50 grants are given through the Fellowship of the Least Coin. An

international committee reviews the applications for special projects of evangelism,

service, and relief throughout the world, particularly programs of development and

empowerment of women and opportunities.
