During the 2025 Annual Conference, it was voted to encourage each local congregation to participate in a love offering for the Pinnacle Living Samaritan Program, which will take place between Mother’s Day (May 10) and Father’s Day (June 21). This tradition dates back to 1948, when Pinnacle Living first began serving as the Virginia Conference Home for the Aged. Now, 78 years later, we are once again seeking your support for benevolent services.
This offering ensures that individuals who enjoy a longer life do not have to move when their financial resources are exhausted. You can find helpful resources on our website at https://www.pinnacleliving.org/ samaritan-program.
Simply scroll down and click on the “2026 Offerings Resources” section. There you will find information about the Samaritan Program, bulletin announcements, PowerPoint slides, Worship items, and more. Attached are two of the items found at the resource section.
For offering envelopes or to have someone give a brief presentation about the Samaritan Program or if you need additional information, please reach out to:
