The One Great Hour of Sharing offering is an annual offering, which provides an opportunity to gather as one body of Christians around the world to support our neighbors in need. One Great Hour of Sharing began more than 60 years ago in response to the devastation of World War II. In March 1949, a national broadcast on a Saturday evening asked Americans to give generously the next morning in their churches. A remarkable assembly of national leaders and celebrities gave their efforts to the broadcast, and more than 75,000 churches responded the next day. The purpose of One Great Hour of Sharing has remained the same: to collect special gifts to assist those in need. Today, projects are underway in more than 100 countries, including the United States and Canada. This is a multi-denominational effort. While specific allocations differ in each denomination, all use their One Great Hour of Sharing funds to make possible disaster relief, refugee assistance, and development aid. United Methodist Committee On Relief (UMCOR), One Great Hour of Sharing video Presbyterian Church, OGHS video One Great Hour of Sharing, continues to respond to needs equally critical as when it was first created. Contributions to One Great Hour of Sharing make a difference in the lives of people. You can be somebody’s miracle, by making a contribution in our offering on April 17th. Just a reminder, as this is also tax time…All gifts to One Great Hour of Sharing are tax deductible and 100% of designated gifts go to the designated area of response. Give Generously to One Great Hour of Sharing…Sharing your resources really does change lives. If you ever want to feel good about yourself, help somebody else. |
