Many denominations participate in the annual One Great Hour of Sharing, connecting all of us to disaster relief, refugee assistance, and development efforts around the globe. When disasters strike, or when individuals are displaced due to violence or poverty, OGHS ensures immediate response and ongoing recovery.   OGHS was begun in 1946 in response to the great needs facing many countries after WWII.

Looking back at our church’s mission activities in the early ‘50’s, we find that we too were focused on needs around the world.  We sponsored “another fine family of refugees from behind the iron curtain, making possible their haven in America and their permanent establishment in San Diego.”   Also, “the church school collected 77 pounds of soap to be sent to Italy,” and “more than 150 pairs of socks were sent to Korea.”
