The theme for the 2019 One Great Hour of Sharing Special Offering is “More than we can imagine!” The theme, based on Ephesians 3:20, reminds us that we are not alone in our imagining a better world for all of God’s children. For it is God’s imagination that fuels and empowers ours! You see, God imagines a world where:

• No one is left to face the ravages of natural disaster alone - neighbor helps neighbor, stranger helps stranger - for we are the church together

• Even if things will never quite be the same after a disaster, God can work through all events to bring new life, new hope, and even more resilience

• Clean and abundant water and ample sanitation facilities are available to every person;

• Work brings security from hunger and the land is treated with respect

• Families displaced from their homes are able to build new lives

• Women are no longer subject to discrimination and gender-based violence

And God also imagines Christians of many traditions, coming together to help make these things ever more a reality for more and more people!  For you see, our imagination of what might be is founded and grounded in what God envisions and hopes for. We can help – through our gifts of treasure and talent, prayer, and presence to make this world ever more like the way God imagine it would be!

Please, give generously to the One Great Hour of Sharing special offering, so that your imagination might indeed be ever more joined with God’s!

Offering envelopes will be available in the pews. If making a gift by check, please note “One Great Hour of Sharing” or “OGHS” in the memo line so that the Business Office can process your gift appropriately.
