The United Church of Christ has forwarded an emergency grant to our partner church, the United Church of Christ in Japan as an immediate response to the earthquake. These funds were made possible through our giving to One Great Hour of Sharing, according to Susan Sanders, who serves as the United Church of Christ’s Minister for Global Sharing of Resources & One Great Hour of Sharing Administrator.

One Great Hour of Sharing is one of the four special offerings collected each year through United Church of Christ congregations. The offering is shared with global partners in more than 80 countries to provide support to health, education, refugee, agricultural, and emergency relief initiatives.
