peace and global witness offering

pc(usa) special offering

The Peace & Global Witness Offering encourages the church to cast off anxiety and fear, discord and division, and embrace our God's mission of reconciliation to those around the corner and around the world.  A gift to the Peace & Global Witness Offering enables the church to promote the Peace of Christ by addressing systems of conflict and injustice across the world. Individual congregations are encouraged to utilize up to 25% of this Offering to connect with the global witness of Christ's peace. Mid councils retain an additional 25% for ministries of peace and reconciliation. The remaining 50% is used by the Presbyterian Mission Agency to advocate for peace and justice in cultures of violence, including our own, through collaborative projects of education and Christian witness.  


The Mission Committee has chosen The Beloved Community Initiative with our Mission Partner, Habitat for Humanity for this year's local portion.  To learn more about Building Beloved Community, please click here.

To honor this incredible legacy, all the teams participating in this year's walk are aiming to collectively raise $50,000. This ambitious goal will provide much-needed support to local hunger-fighting agencies and global programs, which are facing unprecedented challenges and increasing demand.


Our church is proud to be part of this effort. We're walking again this year to help families struggling with hunger by supporting Church World Services, Community Food Share, and Bread for the World. Together, we can provide more meals for people in our community and help create greater food security for communities worldwide.


Will you join us? Please walk with our team, or make a donation to help us reach this vital goal.


Checks can be made out to Central Longmont with CROP Walk in the memo line.  Or donate on our team page by clicking on the button below.

boots for columbine

Our mission partner and neighborhood school, Columbine Elementary is busy welcoming back their students!  We look forward to another school year supporting them with our “Boots for Columbine” outreach.  Each year, Columbine staff identify kids who are in need of boots for winter.  Since 2019 (excluding 2020), your generous donations have allowed us to purchase 188 pairs of boots for these wonderful kids.  With your donations, we have also been able to purchase over 77 pairs of tennis shoes in the spring for some of these deserving students since the outreach started.  Thank you! 


If you would like to make a donation to help with the purchase of snow boots for this winter, please click on the button below.  A check may also be written to Central Presbyterian Church noting “Boots for Columbine” on the memo line. 

 

If you have questions or would like more information, please contact Jennifer Haratsaris.  Thank you!

pentecost offering

Each year, we participate in 4 special offerings with our brothers and sisters in the PC(USA).  The 2nd offering of the year is the Pentecost Offering, which is an investment into our greatest resource, our youth.  A gift to the Pentecost Offering helps the church encourage, develop, and support its young people, and also address the needs of at-risk children.

Forty Percent of the Pentecost offering is retained by individual congregations wanting to make an impact in the lives of young people within their own community.  The mission committee has chosen the Highlands Camp Scholarship fund for our local portion recipient.


A Note from Highlands:
As we look ahead to another Summer Camp season at Highlands Presbyterian Camp & Retreat Center, we are reminded of the profound impact these experiences have on the spiritual development of our youth. The unique environment of Highlands Summer Camp offers a place where young people can deepen their faith, build lasting friendships, take a break from today’s tech-driven world, experience nature, and grow in confidence. Our total cost per camper is $900.  Your generous contribution will provide young individuals with an opportunity to embark on a transformative journey that they might not otherwise be able to afford.  With gratitude and blessings.


The remaining 60% is used to support children-at-risk, youth, and young adults through ministries of the Presbyterian Mission Agency.

Pentecost Offering

one great hour of sharing

pc(usa) special offering

Around the world, millions of people lack access to sustainable food sources, clean water, sanitation, education, and opportunity. The three programs supported by One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) — Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, the Presbyterian Hunger Program, and Self-Development of People — all work in different ways to serve individuals and communities in need. From initial disaster response to ongoing community development, their work fits together to provide people with safety, sustenance, and hope. 


Received during the season of Lent, each gift to OGHS helps to improve the lives of people in these challenging situations. The Offering provides us a way to share God’s love with our neighbors in need. In fact, OGHS is the single, largest way Presbyterian come together every year to work for a better world.


One Great Hour of Sharing makes a difference in the world. 


PRESBYTERIAN DISASTER ASSISTANCE (PDA)
  • Works alongside communities as they recover and find hope after the devastation of natural or human-caused disasters, and support for refugees
  • Receives 32% of funds

PRESBYTERIAN HUNGER PROGRAM (PHP)
  • Takes action to alleviate hunger, care for creation, and the systemic causes of poverty so all may be fed
  • Receives 36% of funds
SELF-DEVELOPMENT OF PEOPLE (SDOP)
  • Invests in communities responding to their experiences of oppression, poverty and injustice and educates Presbyterians about the impact of these issues
  • Receives 32% of funds

february funds drive

for the round pantry

Each year we set aside February as the month we dedicate to raising food and funds for The Round Pantry at Westview Presbyterian Church.  Will you join us in supporting this amazing outreach and help end food insecurity for our friends and neighbors in Longmont?  Please consider making a financial donation so that the Round Pantry may use the funds where most needed.  In most cases, donating funds to a food bank is considered more impactful than donating goods because it allows the food bank to purchase exactly what they need in bulk at lower prices, maximizing the reach of your donation.  But they also shared their most needed food items if you would like to shop for them.  All are blessings.


Pantry Wish List Items:
Canned Meals (stew, chili, etc.)
Canned Fruit
Canned Meat or Fish
Canned Pasta (SpaghettiO’s, ravioli, etc.)
Canned Soup
Canned Vegetables
Cereal (hot or cold)
Flavored Pasta or Rice Meals
Granola Bars and Protein Bars
Macaroni & Cheese
Plain Pasta

Plain Rice
 

You will find donation boxes placed in our lobby and Fellowship Hall.  Financial donations are also welcome! Please make checks payable to Central Longmont with “Food Drive” in the memo line.  Or click the button below to give online via our trusted provider, ShelbyGiving.com, for secure processing of your donation.
 

Show your community love!  Thanks for your caring!

christmas joy offering

pc(usa) special offering

By giving to the Christmas Joy Offering, you honor God's gift of Jesus Christ by providing assistance to current and retired church workers in their time of need and developing our future leaders at Presbyterian-related schools and colleges equipping communities of color.


God has blessed the Church with incredible leadership in every time and place, but those leaders often need to be supported by their communities as well. This Offering addresses the support needed by some of our leaders, including supporting leadership development for communities of color, and providing support for Presbyterian church workers in their time of need.


The Christmas Joy Offering has been a cherished Presbyterian tradition since the 1930s. The Offering distributes gifts equally to the Assistance Program of the Board of Pensions and to Presbyterian-related schools and colleges equipping communities of color. The Assistance Program provides critical financial support to church workers and their families. Presbyterian-related schools and colleges provide education and leadership development while nurturing racial and ethnic heritage. This has been a Presbyterian commitment for nearly 140 years.

Join us for an Offering of Letters campaign to help end hunger.

green up clean up

cleaning up our community and greenway

We love to join our community in helping keep Longmont beautiful.  We participate in Longmont's annual Green Up Clean up event to clean-up our streets, alleys, parks and our greenways along the St. Vrain.  Each and every one of us deserves to live in a community environment that is healthy, clean and beautiful, and we all have a role in achieving this goal.  Clearing trash and debris from our rivers benefits wildlife, promotes clean water, and beautifies our environment.
