One Great Hour of Sharing (www.pcusa.org/oghs) is the special Lenten offering of the PCUSA. It carries the message of love and hope to people in more than eighty countries, including our own.
The PCUSA works with international partners to provide sources of clean water and food, education and health care, small business micro-loans, emergency relief, and advocacy and resettlement for refuges and displaced persons. The PCUSA also supports domestic and international ministries for disaster preparedness and response.
This ministry is near and dear to our own hearts. In 2007, Hurricane Ike tore the roof from Woodforest Presbyterian Church – but One Great Hour of Sharing put it back! So we know personally how necessary this disaster assistance can be!
