Each year in February, congregations across the United States and Canada collect a special offering for Week of Compassion. While many congregations choose to collect their offering during this designated week, the offering truly supports the work of this ministry throughout the whole year! Funds received through the offering allow the Church to respond to disaster when it occurs, enabling Week of Compassion to immediately provide grants for urgent needs like emergency supplies, water and food. Special Offering is a time when congregations come together to lift up and celebrate this important work that we do together.
Each year, we develop an annual Resource Guide to help churches prepare for this special season. The guide contains thematic reflections to help with worship planning, activity ideas, conversation starters and more. We also send out posters, bulletin inserts, and other promotional materials for congregations to use. New offering materials are available each year. If your church has received Week of Compassion materials in the past, you should receive a sample packet of 2022 materials in November 2021. The rest of your materials will arrive after Christmas. To place a new order or to request additional print materials, fill out the materials order form below.
