Giving to Avondale
Your giving helps ensure Avondale offers meaningful ways to engage faith through worship that awakens us, experiences that help us understand our role in God's world, and service to those beyond our walls. Gifts to Avondale touch many lives.
Pentecost Offering - Special Offering
The ACC scholarship program was created in 2021 to better support childcare accessibility to families in the community, and named in honor of Max Shanks in 2022. It currently supports full tuition for 2 children at the center. Donations to the Max Shanks Scholarship will be used to support the current children that attend the Avondale Children's Center through our scholarship program with the hope of increasing the scholarships we have available at the ACC. Through the fund, we have been able to provide children within the scholarship program with support in participating in extracurricular activities, including a dance camp this summer for one student. The funds will also provide these children and their families with necessities for school and home when needed.
We are excited to share this wonderful news with you as a part of the Pentecost Offering. The Pentecost Offering is received by the PCUSA. Forty percent of the offering is to be retained by individual congregations for the purpose of impacting the lives of young people within their own community. The remaining 60% is used to support children-at-risk, youth, and young adults through ministries of the Presbyterian Mission Agency. Psalm 71 testifies that a foundation of faith established during childhood helps ensure lifelong faith and service. The patterns and lessons established during these formative years continue to bear fruit throughout a person's life. Your gift to the Pentecost offering helps the church encourage, develop, and support its young people, and also address the needs of at-risk children. Thank you for your support. It is our hope and prayer that the Max Shanks Scholarship Fund continue to grow, impacting the lives of many children in our community for years to come.

We invite you to visit, walk the labyrinth, and to leave behind the distractions of daily life and encounter the mystery of God’s love.
