Our love offering to the world
Suggested date: March 15, 2026
One Great Hour of Sharing reaches those near and far, sometimes changing the life of someone in distress in your own community, while at other times impacting the lives of those we may never meet but who are in need of our compassion. God provides the resources so that we can give back. It’s not the size of the gift that matters; it’s that we give of what we have. We’re simply giving back to God what is already God’s—and that means everyone has a gift to bring!
Gifts given through this special offering empower ministries like the Church of the Brethren’s Brethren Volunteer Service, Discipleship and Leadership Formation, Office of Global Mission, Brethren Disaster Ministries, the Global Food Initiative, and many others.
2026 print materials were mailed by February 25.
