10 Cents A Meal
The last Sunday of each month is reserved to receive our 10 Cents A Meal
offering which is distributed to various agencies that fight
hunger within the bounds of the Charlotte Presbytery.

Peacemaking Offering
Peacemaking Offering supports the efforts of Presbyterians to work for
justice and peace through the local MorningStar congregation,
presbyteries, synods and the General Assembly.  25% of the offering is
used to promote peace and justice locally.  Through this offering,
MorningStar has reached out to the Grandfather Home for Children, the
police department's God and Gangs project, and the USO.

One Great Hour of Sharing
The One Great Hour of Sharing offering supports the PCUSA Hunger,
Disaster Assistance, and Self Development of People.  Funds from this
offering undergird major Presbyterian relief efforts such as the on-going
rebuilding of the Gulf Coast communities and churches after hurricane
Katrina and now the earthquake in Haiti.

Christmas Joy
Christmas Joy Offering supports church workers who have insufficient
funds for retirement after a lifetime of service and Presbyterian racial
ethnic colleges and schools.

Room In the Inn
Room in the Inn is an interfaith organization (through Urban Ministry) that
provides homeless people - our neighbors - with a warm, safe place to sleep,
along with dinner, breakfast and a bag lunch during the winter months.  The
simple goal is to keep homeless people from freezing on cold winter nights.  We
partner with Joy Christian Church on Monday nights December through March.
discharged from the hospital.  They provide an alternative "haven" when
the other choices are the streets, wood or highway underpass.  Our
congregation prepares and serves lunch to the guests of Samaritan House
on the first Sunday of each month.
