Stamps for Mission

When you receive cards and letters from friends and family, please remember our cancelled stamp project. Here is a short guide to which stamps to collect:

• All commemoratives (large stamps) of any denomination
• Computer-generated stamps with pictures (photo-stamps)
• Fish and Wildlife Service stamps
• All airmail and express mail
• All foreign stamps
• Old U.S. stamps, Famous Americans stamps
• First Day covers, stamp albums, picture postcards pre-1930
• Postal embossed envelope corners (cut so all of picture and value is on the corner: 3"x3" square)

Please do not send in common small stamps as they have no value to collectors. These include: flags, Christmas, veggies, lovebirds and other love stamps, liberty bell, forever stamps, sunflower, etc.

When cutting out stamps, leave a border of 1/4" to 1/2" around the stamp. This is important!

Stamps are sold to collectors. Last year, together with other PEVA churches, we raised about $7,000 which went to our sister-churches in the Congo for medical supplies and educational scholarships. 

Turn stamps in to the church office anytime.
