What is One Great Hour of Sharing?
OGHS supports the ministries of the UCC’s Wider Church Ministries as it reaches beyond our denomination to share with those in crisis who are making a difference in their communities. Through OGHS, we at CUCC are able to assist partners in the United States and worldwide in alleviating challenges like poverty, injustice, the climate crisis, and the global movement of people (refugees, migrants) seeking a stable place to call home. Giving is tracked in four major categories: International Relief and Sustainable Development (46%), Global Partners Development Programs (43%), Refugees and Migration (10%), and National Disaster Relief (1%).
