💚 One Great Hour of Sharing 2026

Feb 26, 2026

Our Love Offering to the World

OGHS is a special mission offering of the United Church of Christ that supports partners worldwide—funding health, education, agricultural development, emergency relief, refugee ministries, and disaster response.

For over 75 years, the United Church of Christ has helped bring God’s hope and healing to hurting people in the U.S. and around the world through One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS). In collaboration with local and international partners, OGHS supports disaster relief, economic development, essentials like food, water, and shelter, advocacy and resettlement assistance for refugees and displaced persons, and work that combats injustice in its many forms. We give because our hearts are touched as we witness God at work—in ourselves, in one another, and throughout the world.

We will be receiving this special offering through March / Lent. Please consider giving joyfully and generously, designating your gift for OGHS through our church website, electronically through your usual means of giving, or by check/cash during the worship service. Thank you—on behalf of each life that will be blessed because of our shared support.

What is a “love offering”?
A love offering is a voluntary monetary gift to show appreciation, support a specific occasion, or strengthen a particular ministry or mission. It is separate from one’s regular tithe and giving and is often collected on special days or occasions.
It embodies these words of Jesus: “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” (John 13:34–35, NIV)

One Great Hour of Sharing contributions are our love offering to the world.
