The Special Offering for the first 3 weeks of February will go to One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS).
OGHS is a vital special mission offering of the United Church of Christ. It provides for disaster relief, refugee assistance, and development efforts around the globe. When disasters strike, or when individuals are displaced due to violence or poverty, OGHS ensures immediate response and ongoing recovery.
Through your support, OGHS funds comprehensive development programs in areas such as healthcare, education, agriculture, food security, microfinancing, and women’s empowerment. By partnering with Global Ministries and international response networks, OGHS maximizes its impact. Your contributions help meet urgent needs while addressing the root causes of vulnerability, ensuring long-term, sustainable solutions for affected communities.
Beginning the last week in February and through March, we will again be collecting pasta for A Place to Turn, as part of our Lenten theme, “Nourishing Community: Body, Mind, and Spirit.” Our goal is 1,000 1-pound boxes. We did it in October and surely we can do it again!
