One Great Hour of Sharing

We deeply appreciate the outstanding work that the United Methodist Committee on Relief is doing in Chile, Haiti, and other areas with recent disasters. This coming Sunday you have an opportunity to help UMCOR do its job. The One Great Hour of Sharing offering, which is normally held the Sunday before Palm Sunday, is the reason we are able to promise that 100 percent of every gift goes to the disaster response being supported. Please be generous, as you give people an opportunity to share in this offering.  

While One Great Hour of Sharing is traditionally celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent, you may choose the date that works best for your church schedule. Offering materials are available online and in print throughout the year to support your offering celebration.
 
UMCOR receives no World Service funds or any other apportionments. Your gifts mean we're right there with hardworking families, people who are affected by storms or war, disaster or disease.
 
The One Great Hour of Sharing offering provides essential support to UMCOR. Without this offering, so much of what UMCOR does to bring hope and healing to the world could not happen.
