One Great Hour of Sharing, is part of Our Church's Wider Mission (OCWM), it is one of the four special mission offerings of the United Church of Christ. Working in more than 80 countries, the offering provides hope to people in more than eighty countries. The UCC works with international partners, and together we provide support to health, education, refugee, agricultural and emergency relief initiatives.
Please give generously to One Great Hour of Sharing on Sunday, April 3.
    We are continuing to sponsor a child in Haiti named Andie Faustin. The monies                being used for this endeavor are being obtained through the children's collection        which is collected at Story Time each Sunday. The children are very excited to be a      part of helping/sponsoring a child in need over seas. A valuable lesson about                charity and sharing is being taught to our children by being a part of this mission.

       Smith Mills Christian Congregational Church continues to volunteer at Market                Ministries, our local soup kitchen in New Bedford, the fourth Monday of every                month. We are always looking for volunteers to help with this life sustaining                    mission.

       A food basket is collected monthly and blessed by the minister during                                Communion Sunday and offered to families in need of temporary emergency                    assistance.
