The Pentecost Offering is the youngest member of the PC(USA) special offerings' family, first received by congregations in 1998. Like the three other special offerings, it provides direct ways for congregations to support specific causes that help those in need.
The Offering is traditionally received on the Day of Pentecost (May 15th in 2005), but some congregations receive it at another time as part of a children or youth emphasis Sunday.
