To: Pastors and Sessions of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church

Dear Fathers and Brothers:

The theme of the 2014 Thank Offering for the Worldwide Outreach ministries of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church is “A Festival of Thanksgiving” from Psalm 100. The goal this year is to raise $950,000 through the Thank Offering for the ministries of Foreign Missions, Home Missions, and Christian Education.

Please promote the Thank Offering through prayer, sermons, and Sunday School lessons on Psalm 100, and special events such as a Thank Offering banquet or Thanksgiving Day service. Meeting the goal for the Thank Offering this year is vital for the Committees to go forward with their planned ministries in 2015.

You will be receiving one or more Thank Offering posters, four sets of bulletin inserts, and remittance envelopes sent out from the OPC Administrative Building by October 13. We suggest that the bulletin inserts be distributed on the four Lord’s Days prior to the collection of the Thank Offering. For example, if your collection is planned for Sunday, November 23, begin the distribution of the bulletin inserts on the Lord’s Day of October 26. The remittance envelopes should be included with the fourth bulletin insert. If you have not received the materials by Thursday, October 22, please contact Jan Gregson (phone 215-830-0900 or e-mail jan.1@opc.org).

We thank you for your faithful support of the ministries of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.

Yours in Christ Jesus,

Danny E. Olinger
General Secretary of the Committee on Christian Education
on behalf of the General Secretaries of the OPC
