Each year on the first Sunday of October, World Communion Sunday, we receive a special offering.  This offering is a national offering of the Presbyterian Church USA and is called “The Peace and Global Witness Offering.”

Our mission distribution team decides where to give 25% of the offering we receive. The Presbytery of Southern Kansas decides where to give 25% of the offering, and the national PCUSA decides how to use the final 50%.

This year the local portion of the offering goes to the Pando Initiative. The Pando Initiative serves students in the Wichita, Derby, and Haysville area helping them to engage and thrive in education. Their vision is that every student in the community graduates and is ready for their next stage.
