Ways to Celebrate the Mary Hill Davis Offering® and the Week of Prayer for Texas Missions

& Promoting the Mary Hill Davis Offering during the Week of Prayer for Texas Missions (typically observed in September) can be as simple as providing Prayer Guides and Offering Envelopes in your church bulletin or placing them on an entry table to the Worship Center.

& Providing a display table in a prominent area of your church will create interest. The table might include a map of Texas with pin flags indicating where ministries are located who receive allocations from the offering. Also include the Week of Prayer poster and “Because You Give” facts.

& Girls in Action and/or Royal Ambassadors can make items during their class times as a fundraiser. One idea is to gather teacups and saucers from church members and/or garage sales. The girls can plant small succulents in the cups and then glue the cups to the saucers. Create a table in a prominent area with information about Mary Hill Davis. For a donation to the offering, the recipient will receive a teacup as a reminder that Mary Hill Davis enjoyed drinking hot tea.

& RA’s can participate by making and painting crosses as a fundraiser.

& Ask to visit adult Sunday School classes to share for 3 minutes how gifts to the offering impacts lives across Texas and beyond. If time allows, show a video from our website.

& Did you know there is a monthly prayer calendar for September? Download this calendar to share with your classes or share the link in your church newsletter. This is a wonderful companion piece to go along with the Prayer Guide.

& Do you have someone in your church who has benefited from a scholarship or ministry of the Mary Hill Davis Offering? Ask them to share. They can do this by a written testimony that can be shared on a church website, newsletter, or if they are comfortable, they can briefly share during Sunday School or a Life Group.

& Don’t forget to request a speaker (speakers are available year-round) to share about Texas Missions.
