GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND

It’s all about layers.

God breathing life into dust. Moses leading people out of slavery into freedom. Hagar calling on God to remember God’s covenant.

Layer after layer.

Mary saying yes. Jesus breaking bread. Young people seeing visions. Elders dreaming dreams.

Our ancestors building a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. Going above and beyond church as it’s always been. Beyond borders and barriers. Beyond us and them. Building layers of community and color, spirituality and vision, justice and joy. Proclaiming the good news that the Spirit is still breathing new life and breaking new bread, and God’s people are still seeing visions and dreaming dreams.

Your participation in the 2025 Pentecost Offering lays down another layer, going above and beyond what’s been done to what God’s spirit is doing next.

Half of the gifts made to this Special Day Offering remain in the region in which they are collected to support its new church movement. The other half goes to support the efforts of New Church Ministry, which trains, equips, and assists emerging and affiliating communities of faith and their leaders across the U.S. and Canada so that they can become movement initiators. Make a gift on June 1 and June 8 to ensure that new places of worship are created, and God’s word is spread far and wide. Be a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world.

Please give generously to the Pentecost Offering.
