At Parkway Presbyterian Church in Corpus Christi, Texas, worshipers on Pentecost Sunday are urged to seek a Spirit-filled common life that will permeate the congregation’s mission and ministries.
First Presbyterian’s Pentecost Offering is another example of its good-heartedness. Through the Offering, the church helps youth, young adults, and at-risk children in its own community and also reaches out across the country through ministries of the national church that serve children, youth, and young adults.
Sermons and Liturgy is a thematic collection of sermons and liturgical materials celebrating the Presbyterian Committee on the Self-Development of People (SDOP). It helps pastors develop SDOP-themed worship services and provides insight into the Biblical and theological foundations of the SDOP ministry.
This guide will walk you through available resources and some effective ways for participation in, and celebration of the Pentecost Offering. But this guide is just a start, you know how to motivate your congregation. We encourage you to add your own ideas, creativity, and enthusiasm to help increase awareness and giving in your congregation.
