2008 Christmas Joy Offering Promotional Poster

A Presbyterian tradition for almost seventy years, the Christmas Joy Offering is one of the four special offerings designated by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to provide congregations direct ways of supporting specific causes that help those in need.

You are encouraged to support the Christmas Joy Offering through gifts to your congregation's offering. If for some reason that is not convenient, feel free to support the offering directly.

• One provides background visuals and music for any announcements, hymn lyrics, or liturgical resources that you may wish to project
  
• The second is a brief (two-minute), self-contained presentation with music, visuals, text, and narration that can serve as a minute for mission.
  
• The third offers the same visuals and music, but allows presenters to advance the frames as desired in case they wish to make changes to the suggested script that is provided.
  
• Finally, selected art and text elements from the offering materials can be downloaded for use in your congregation
