OGHS is a special offering that channels resources to the self-empowerment of communities (60%), emergency relief and refugee advocacy and resettlement of refugees in both the USA and in over 90 countries. Nine denominations and Church World Service participate. The expression of compassion by our Church can only be really appreciated by the recipients who now have fresh water for the first time, a refugee whose child can now attend school, or a disaster victim who has a warm blanket and shelter. You may contribute by using the special OGHS envelope in your offering box or pew rack.  You may also mail your donation to the church.
