Our congregation supports numerous
mission causes locally and internationally. Some are part of our
annual budget and three are contributed to by special offerings. In
addition, many groups within the church fund various mission
projects and assist with charitable work, including Presbyterian
Women, Deacons, youth and fellowship groups.

the information. While we are "walking for water" in Seattle, our
sisters in Kenya will also be walking in partnership to raise funds

days of hard rain and provide the family with clean water for
household use most of the year.

One
Great Hour of Sharing
Pentecost
Offering
Received on Pentecost Sunday, this offering allows us to
provide hope for children at risk, opportunities for youth
and young adults to grow in their faith, and short-term
mission service options for young adults. Congregations keep
40% of the offering received for local programs. In 2007 and
2008 LCPC donated this share to Childhaven, a program that
helps abused and neglected children.
