One Great Hour of Sharing
Sharing Brings Joy
To Others, to God and to Us
In 1949,
Protestant Churches joined together to gather
resources to help those devastated by World War II.
The response was so great the effort was repeated
the next year and given the name,
One Great Hour of Sharing.
Today eight denominations participate in OGHS.
Although each denomination allocates its gifts
differently, the goal remains the same: to help
where needed in the areas of disaster relief,
refugee assistance and development aid.
In 2011, 153 volunteer teams were organized by
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, 3.2 tons of food
was delivered to those in need by Presbyterian
Hunger Program and in 2010, 62 grants were awarded
by Self Development of people.
Recognizing that the hope we have in Jesus is lived
out in our hope for one another, we respond with
gifts that help our sisters and brothers around the
world find the hope of a brighter future.
This offering will be collected during the Sundays
in Lent beginning Sunday, February 26th.
Envelopes are available in the pew pockets and in
the issue of Chimes. Fish banks will be
handed out in Sunday School so our children can
help, too. The last collection day will be Easter
Sunday, April 8, 2012.
Thank you!
