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 at the beginning of each year.
In light of COVID-19, Week of Compassion modified all materials distributions for the 2021 Special Offering. For 2021, a resource guide and one poster were mailed to all churches with standing orders on file. Additional materials, including downloadable posters, are available on the 2021 offering resource page.
To request more 2021 print materials, please contact the Week of Compassion office.
