On Sunday, May 20, we receive the PCUSA Pentecost Offering. The Pentecost Offering goes to programs for children at risk, youth, and young adults. Sixty percent of what we receive goes to the PCUSA for the work our national church does with these groups. Forty percent of the offering stays at Grace.

This year our mission team designated our 40% to go for Jacob’s Learning Ladder scholarships. Jacob’s Learning Ladder currently serves 92 children and their families. Scholarship money is used for different purposes. Sometimes a family goes through a short-term crisis and needs temporary help with tuition, and sometimes we have families that need long-term help. Scholarship funds mean that these families are able to have their children in our high-quality care and program.
