Every year Hill Church is asked to support the work of the Beaver-Butler Presbytery, the Synod of the
Trinity and the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church USA. This support is made through a
per-capita assessment of church members. This assessment has been used for over 150 years to fund
the essential work of the Presbyterian Church.
As we have done in past years, we are inviting members to the Hill Church family of faith to contribute to the support of
the shared work of the Presbyterian Church USA. The per-capita assessment for 2015 is $39.93 per member which
includes all those who have been baptized and have made their profession of faith. For example, a single member would
contribute $39.93, a couple who are both members would contribute $79.86, a couple with one confirmed child would
contribute $119.79 and so on.
For your convenience in making this offering, a special blue envelope has been included in your regular box of
envelopes, appearing between the January 25th and the February 1st envelopes. Or you may mark the memo line of your
check per-capita and this offering will be properly credited to your giving statement.
As of 8/24/15 we have collected $4,232.92. Thank you for your continued generosity and support.
