I
n 1922 the Women’s Auxiliary (PCUS) decided they should support a specific cause and that each woman would give a penny for each year of her life to support this cause. Some women did not reveal their age and donated a dollar or more. In 1988 with the reunion of the southern and northern Presbyterian Churches, the women voted to continue this tradition of the Birthday Offering.
Beginning Saturday, May 23 and continuing Saturday, June 13, Presbyterian Women of Hillside will begin receiving the 2020 Birthday Offering via USPS. Women of Hillside, for many years you have made generous donations to this offering and we are asking for your continued help by giving a dime for each year of your life or at least $10.00 if you don’t want to reveal your age, or give as you have been blessed. Your gift will continue to improve the lives of the more than 200 mission projects that touch the lives of women, children and their families and communities.
The recipients for this year are:
- Center for Social Assistance to the Disabled, Family and Children PREOBRAZHEBTYE, Assisted Living Facility, Davydovo, Russia $100,000.
- GAP Ministries of Augusta, Georgia, Expanded Access and Service Space, Northeastern Georgia Presbytery $135,000.
- Community Presbyterian Child Learning Center in Payson, Arizona, Childcare and Prekindergarten Facility, Presbytery of Grand Canyon $75,000.
- Liberty Community Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Northside Healing Space Expansion, Presbytery of the Twin Cities Area $75,000
Please address your envelope as indicated and write Birthday on the memo line of your check.
