Seventy-fifth anniversary (United Methodist Committee on Relief) -- 1940 - 2015 -- One Great Hour of Sharing materials to promote giving

For more than 50 years, United Methodist congregations have been taking part in a special One Great Hour of Sharing offering, laying the foundation for United Methodist Committee on Relief’s (UMCOR’s) ministry of relief and hope.
UMCOR Pastor’s KitPastor's Toolkit can help spread the word about the importance of the 2015 One Great Hour of Sharing.
In 2015, UMCOR is celebrating 75 years of being with those in crisis around the world. The day of celebration will take place on One Great Hour of Sharing Special Sunday, March 15, 2015.
One Great Hour of Sharing calls United Methodists to share the goodness of life with those who hurt. The offering provides administrative support for UMCOR as it responds to disaster survivors and people in need around the world.
Donations through this offering, along with other undesignated gifts made throughout the year, cover UMCOR’s costs of doing business. Gifts like yours make it possible for UMCOR to use 100% of all other contributions on the projects its donors specify, instead of on administrative or fundraising costs.
