We love to hear your stories!<\/h2>\n

The children at Fort Street Presbyterian Church in Detroit, MI had a mission: to give a goat<\/a> to a family in need. <\/p>\n

After hearing about the Presbyterian Giving Catalog<\/a>, children from the Sunday School class decided to host a “Give a Goat” fundraiser. “The funds were gathered through a whole-church fundraiser,” writes Christian Educator Judith Shelton, “initiated by our children and youth, at which they sold cards and bookmarks they had designed.” <\/span>Congregation members pitched in with baked goods for sale and a silent auction.<\/p>\n

With their hard work, the children of Fort Street were able to raise $890, or enough for TEN<\/strong> goats from the Presbyterian Giving Catalog! <\/p>\n\"10\n

Shelton concludes her letter, “Thank you for all that you and others do to make these giving programs possible. It makes it easy to identify a goal and work toward it, as well as giving us confidence that our funds will directly support families in our world.” <\/p>\n

Thank you so much to the children of Fort Street – we appreciate your enthusiasm! Has your church found an unique way to promote Special Offerings? We’d love to hear about it! Email specialofferings@pcusa.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n
