On Sunday January 22, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) congregations have the chance to “discuss why we do per capita,” said Kate Trigger Duffert, Manager of General Assembly Business and Per Capita in the Office of the General Assembly (OGA). “Per Capita can be hard to talk about and in the weeds. Per Capita Sunday is an invitation to share experiences and resources that can inform those discussions.”

총회 사무국 소속 '총회 사업과 상회비' 총괄인 케이트 트리거 더퍼트는 1월 22일 '상회비 주일'에 미국장로교 회중들이 "상회비를 내야 하는 이유에 대해 논의할 수 있을 것"이라고 전했다. "상회비에 대해 말을 꺼내기 어려울 때가 많습니다. '상회비 주일'은 상회비에 관한 논의에 도움이 되는 경험과 자료를 나누는 자리입니다."
It’s that time of year again: time to take a quick breath to recall Advent and Christmas celebrations; time to look ahead to what the new year will bring. It’s also time to consider your local congregation’s missional priorities and the financial pledges you have received so that a budget can be finalized.
A new celebration Sunday has been added to the PC(USA) calendar: Per Capita Sunday.
According to the Per Capita Sunday web page, “On January 23, 2022, Presbyterians are invited to center their worship services around the ways in which we are called into mutual support and ministry through per capita giving.”
