One Great Hour of Sharing is celebrating its 75th anniversary. Since 1949 this offering has been the single largest way that Presbyterians join together to share God’s love with our neighbors-in-need around the world.
Each gift helps to improve the lives of people in challenging situations through three impactful programs.
• Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (32%) works alongside communities as they recover and find hope after the devastation of natural or humancaused disasters.
• Presbyterian Hunger Program (36%) takes action to alleviate hunger and the systemic causes of poverty so all may be fed.
• Self-Development of People (32%) invests in communities responding to their experiences of racism, oppression, poverty, and injustice and educates Presbyterians about the impact of these societal ills. Additionally,
St. Mark supports the Marian Medical Water Mission, which works to provide clean water to communities in Africa. Let’s “dig” a well—lots of wells!
You can use the special yellow envelope that was in your packet for February, or you can write a check to St. Mark and indicate OGHS or Marian Medical Mission in the memo line.
