Congregations contributed more than $8.7 million to Presbyterians Sharing for 2004 — an increase of $7,000 from the previous year. Gifts from individuals helped the ministry surpass its target of $8.8 million.
A thank you letter was sent to congregations for their generosity. An excerpt follows: "It is always amazing to see the strong support from congregations across the country. Some are new, grant-receiving congregations; others are older, well-established congregations. For all congregations, whether large or small, many important needs and ministries vie for their financial support. Yet congregations understand the value and importance of sharing in ministry beyond themselves, as part of the broader church."
