Current Giving Opportunities

The Mission & Outreach Committee encourages these giving projects: The One Great Hour of Sharing all-church offering was received last Sunday (Easter), but it’s not too late to turn your donation in for this historic offering that provides assistance to those in need around the world (war-torn refugees, poverty created by natural disaster, assistance to help some generate small businesses to support entire villages, etc.). We thank all who’ve already given to this important offering as we’ve collected $366.00 so far! Continue to bring in canned goods and staples for our food pantry collections @ Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church and the City Mission! Receptacles in the foyer!...

One Great Hour of Sharing

The Mission and Outreach Committee encourages these service opportunities in the coming months: The One Great Hour of Sharing (http://onegreathourofsharing.org/)  all-church offering will be received on Easter Sunday (4/16). Return all “fish” banks. There will also be special OGHS offering envelopes available beginning Palm Sunday. This historic offering provides relief efforts to those in natural disaster, to refugees who’ve had to flee violence in their own civil war-torn nations, to those in need of education/micro-financing to strengthen and develop their own agribusiness/starter businesses, to provide new and clean sources of water/wells, to provide health education/care for those in desperate need, etc. We want to respond to the needs of the world in a significant way—we’ve given over $400.00 on several occasions in the past, so let’s shoot for $450.00 this year! Pray about your part in this life-giving effort!  ...
