Monday Question of the Week . . . Special Offerings

The Special Offerings Review Task Force meets every four years to evaluate the four churchwide special offerings and decide whether to recommend any changes. The Task Force wants to base its decisions on as much input as possible, and they have provided an online serve to gather the public’s opinion. I thought it might be interesting to see what you all think.

1. Which churchwide special offering(s) does your congregation currently receive? One Great Hour of Sharing, Pentecost, Peacemaking, Christmas Joy, or none at all.
   
   
2. Are there too few, just enough, or too many churchwide special offerings? Too few, Too many, or Just enough
   
   
3. (Yes or No) Are there causes or programs that currently receive funding from churchwide special offerings that you believe should no longer receive such funding? Click for a list of churchwide special offerings and the causes each supports.
   
   
4. (Yes or No) Are there causes or programs that currently do not receive funding from churchwide special offerings that you believe should receive such funding?
   
   
5. (Yes or No) Would you suggest changing the recommended timing of any of the offerings?
   
   
6. Are there other comments or suggestions you would like the Task Force to consider?
