Usually this thank offering is collected by local Women’s Ministry groups the first Sunday of May during a special worship service presented by the women of the congregation. The offering is then sent to the regional treasurer who will send 60% of the Thank Offering to the General Conference Women’s Ministries and the remaining 40% will be dispersed as decided by each region. Originally used only for missions, it now benefits many ministries of the church. Since its beginning, more than $2 million has been given through the Thank Offering. In 2021, our Thank Offerings will support the School for Girls in India (15%), Physical Therapy School in Haiti (20%), Winebrenner Female Students (25%), Venezuela Bible School (15%) and Women’s Leadership Development (25%). Though typically collected in May, COVID-19 has disrupted our Thank Offering collection, and this year’s contributions have been quite low. Because many of our Women’s Ministry Groups are still not meeting in person, Thank Offerings may still be submitted for this current year. If your group is not meeting or you are currently not a part of CGWM group at your church, this offering can be sent directly to your regional CGWM treasurer or to our national CGWM treasurer, Nancy Scott.
