One Great Hour of Sharing Offering 2008
Sharing Resources, Changing Lives

Since 1949, Presbyterians have joined with millions of other Christians through One Great Hour of Sharing to share God’s love with people experiencing need. Our gifts support ministries of disaster response, refugee assistance and resettlement, and community development that help people find safe refuge, start new lives, and work together to strengthen their families and communities.

All money raised is used to fund the Presbyterian Hunger Program, which receives 36 percent of the Sharing gifts, while the Self-Development of People and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance each receives 32 percent. The Sharing Offering will be received on Palm Sun., March 16, and Resurrection Sun., March 23.

Recognizing that the hope we have in Christ is lived out in our hope for one another, we respond with gifts that help our sisters and brothers around the world find the hope for a brighter future. The ELPC Justice and Global
Concerns Committee encourages the ELPC family to exceed the $4,850.00 collected in 2007 by giving generously and from the heart. Through our collective efforts of sharing resources, we can change lives.
