One Great Hour of Sharing

For the month of June we are receiving the One Great Hour of Sharing Offering (OGHS), whose theme this year is Our Love Offering to the World.

Today, One Great Hour of Sharing serves people in over 80 countries around the world. Sponsored by five Christian U.S. denominations (including American Baptist Churches USA), Baptist World Aid, and Church World Service, OGHS makes sure that we can respond to needs as soon as they happen and that tens of thousands of people receive support for ongoing relief, rehabilitation, and development. OGHS is a tangible way we can provide for the human needs of our world through:

• Comfort and hands to help rebuild after natural disasters;

• Shelter, nourishment, and safety in places where war rages and poverty prevails;

• Tools and expertise to establish sustainable agriculture, clean water, and livelihoods; and

• Advocacy for the dignity of those who are marginalized and most vulnerable.
