Each year on Pentecost Sunday, we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit and the birthday of the church. The Holy Spirit remains with us still, connecting us with the church of the past, continuing to inspire the church of today, and pointing us to the church of the future. Each year, this celebration is marked by receiving the Pentecost Offering which nurtures the faith of those who are the church to come. In the Book of Jeremiah, Jeremiah shares the statement: “I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, to give you a future with hope” (Jeremiah 29:11).
Since the Pentecost Offering started in 1998, Presbyterian have raised more than 16 million for ministries that benefit younger members of God’s family. Year 2021 Hillside contributed $685.18 (60%) of the amount raised. 40% remained at Hillside for support of its youth ministries. 60% was distributed by the Presbyterian Church U.S.A in this manner: 25% supports Young Adult Volunteers (YAV); 25% supports Ministries with Youth and 10% devoted to youth at risk.
