Christmas Joy Offering - Prepare the Way

Our gifts help smooth the path for current and retired church workers and their families in their time of need. Rev. Lynn Bledsoe’s world was rocked when Hurricane Helene swept away not only her long-held sense of security, but the very ground beneath her North Carolina home, causing a 15-foot drop off outside her front door. — The needed repairs weren’t covered under insurance. Thankfully, Lynn received unexpected lifeline — a grant to help with the repairs through the Assistance Program of the Board of Pensions — made possible by gifts to the Christmas Joy Offering. “Although I’ve given to the Christmas Joy Offering for years, I never thought I would be a recipient. It brings tears to my eyes every time I think about the generosity and immediate support of the Assistance Program of the Board of Pensions.” —Rev.
