*Today, we take a special offering for One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS). OGHS enables the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) to live out its mission to alleviate human suffering. UMCOR responds to natural or human made disasters - those interruptions of such magnitude that they overwhelm a community's ability to recover on its own. You are invited to give generously!
