Thank Offering

What is a Thank Offering? It is just that! Whenever we are thankful for something in our daily

lives and we want to thank God in a tangible way, we place a few coins in our Thank Offering

Barrel and pray a prayer of thanksgiving. This daily act of worship was established by Grace

Pierson, the founder of Churches of God Women’s Ministries (formerly known as Women’s

Christian Service Council) in 1954. The offering is then collected by local Women’s Ministry

groups the first Sunday in the month of May. Often times a special Women’s Ministries worship

service is presented by the women of the congregation. The offering is then sent to the regional

treasurer. The regional treasurer will send 60% of the Thank Offering to the General Conference

Women’s Ministries and the 40% remaining will be dispersed as decided by each region. As of

2017 there has been over 1 million dollars given through the Thank Offering.
