ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING: It is now the time of the year when we have a chance to share with people who are desperate for help. Natural and man-made disasters cause a lot of damage, leaving victims without homes and things necessary for every-day life. Some people are often hungry and need help to get supplies needed to provide for their families. Some people are victims of injustice, and need help to improve their situation. The “One great Hour of Sharing” offering provides some help for people with all of these problems. The Presbyterian Hunger Program receives 36% of the offering. Presbyterian Disaster Assistance and the Self Development of People each receive 32% of the offering.
The offering will be given on Palm Sunday, April 13th. We will have readers for three weeks, sharing stories of how people have been helped by previous offerings. Eileen Otti will read on March 30th, Sue Scannell will read on April 6th, and Ruth Roberts will read on April 13th. People can put offerings in the collection plate through May 4th. Also, you can give on-line or by mail. After May 4th, the offering will be sent to the Presbyterian denomination so more people can receive help.
EAGLE WINGS MINISTRIES: Eagle Wings disAbility Ministries builds relationships for adults with disAbilities, their families, and their caregivers.

We will provide a snack around 9 a.m. when guests arrive. Eagle Wings will provide lunch and dinner, but would like help with clean-up after dinner. They expect to be through by 7 p.m.
