Pentecost Special Offering

This year the “official” Pentecost Sunday slides into June. Pentecost is always the “end” of the
“Easter” season…50 days following Easter. Pentecost is known as the birth of the church.
Pentecost Worship on June 3 is at 5PM and on June 4 at 9:30 AM.

Presbyterians honor that event with a Special Offering, which serves young people in God’s kingdom. The offering was established in 1998 and over the years since, Presbyterians have donated over eleven million dollars.


Forty percent of the funds remain with the local congregation: St. Mark supports the Presbyterian Children’s Home and Services and UKirk Presbyterian Campus Ministry. Twenty-five percent goes to Young Adult Volunteers, being used for development of future church leaders, assistance with individual student’s funding, and retreats and speakers. Another 25% is used to support ministries to youth ages 12-18. The remaining 10% is used for Child Advocacy, efforts to improve the lives of children everywhere. Be a part of these initiatives. Give generously.
