One Great Hour of Sharing

This ministry began as a special effort of the Episcopal Church in 1946. In 1949 the observance became ecumenical and today several denominations—including The United Methodist Church--participate. The yearly observance is planned by denominational representatives and related to Church World Service and Witness, the relief agency of the National Council of Churches. Originally one special worship hour during the year was reserved for people of faith to contribute over and above their regular offerings. Today different denominations celebrate One Great Hour of Sharing at various times throughout the year, but the cooperative spirit remains.
