"Do You Love Me? Feed My Sheep."
John 21:15-17

In his last conversation with the disciples after his resurrection, Jesus repeated the same message three times. If you love me, take care of the people I love. Jesus had given everything to care for ordinary people. He called on his followers to now make a tangible difference in the live of others. (John 21:15-17)

When you make a gift to One Great Hour of Sharing you actively participate in tending God's flock throughout the world. Your gift brings shelter, food, water, and medical supplies to disaster survivors. You help refugees find safe shelter and begin to build new lives. You aid impoverished communities in securing dependable sources of food and clean water. And you help provide medical care and education that strengthen bodies and minds and create brighter futures.

Cumberland Presbyterians have given generously to the annual One Great Hour of Sharing offering, received on Palm Sunday, for more than 50 years. The purpose of this offering is to collect special gifts to assist those in need. Through OGHS, you take the suffering of the poor seriously and join hands with Christians across our nation to meet where it is most urgent.

As in past years, 75% of this offering will be sent by the Missions Ministry Team to Church World Service, official sponsor of OGHS. The remaining 25% will be used in support of ministries of compassion on Cumberland Presbyterian fields of service.

Please plan to receive and dedicate the offering during your service of worship on March 28, 2010 or on a more suitable date for your congregation. To assist you in observing this emphasis there are several resources available to you (all are free). Some of them are for preview only.
