OGHS Family Activities Week 5

For more than 70 years, our gifts to One Great Hour of Sharing have connected us in God’s healing, tending and growing to create a world where all needs are met. Thanks to your heartfelt gifts, One Great Hour of Sharing currently supports projects in more than 100 countries. Visit pcusa.org/oghsmap for locations and ministries. Each day at or after a meal time, consider these reflections and questions for the week ahead. Place a coin or a “gift” in your fish coinbank or a jar, and end by saying the prayer of the week or one of your own.

Joshua 5:9–12 2 Corinthians 5:16–21 Psalm 32 Luke 15:1–3, 11b–32

God, you say, “come to the waters” and “buy wine without money and bread without price.” Let us learn by your generosity, the gift of giving what we have to share. Amen.

MARCH 27-APRIL 1, 2022

Monday: Using the online map, find a Presbyterian Hunger Program partnership near where you currently live. Read about the need being addressed. Say a prayer for the people involved in the ministry there. Thursday: Social support and connection are important parts of being healthy. Say a prayer of gratitude for one person or place that offers welcome to you. Tuesday: When rain is scarce, special collection systems are built to catch the water so it can be used for growing plants. Give a gift to help bring water to people when it doesn’t rain. Friday: Teaching healthy food choices and food safety can change the health of an entire community! Make a gift that helps us all learn. Wednesday: Electricity is usually the first utility that is lost in a storm. Can you identify a favorite Bible verse about light? Make a gift to OGHS in honor of the verse.
