TONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING FOR HURRICANE KATRINA

The Missionary Society is accepting One Great Hour of Sharing Funds for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Relief funds will be distributed through local churches and associations, sponsored mission projects, the Salvation Army, and Habitat for Humanity.

Donations may be forwarded to: NACCC, P O Box 288, Oak Creek, WI 54154. Checks should be made payable to the NACCC and designated for OGHS – Hurricane Katrina. And every dollar given for missions, goes to missions!

At present, we are working with our Alabama churches to help those displaced by the hurricane who have come to them from downstate, Mississippi and Louisiana. Through them, we have also contacted the Piney Woods School, not far from Jackson, MS, and one of the Missionary Society’s sponsored mission projects, to help them and their neighbors in need.

In addition, continuing a practice begun in response to the events of September 11th, 2001, the Missionary Society is making grants in aid available to local churches and associations as they respond to those affected by the hurricane in their vicinity. Grants in the amount of $1000 will be given on request to churches and associations taking part in relief, rebuilding and resettlement efforts in their communities. Requests will be reviewed by members of the Missionary Society.

Beyond those in our church and mission family, we are forwarding contributions to the Salvation Army as they minister to those affected by the hurricane throughout the region.

As a National Association of Congregational Christian Churches, we are limited in what we can do to respond to the particular needs of local communities. Therefore, we look to our local churches – their faithfulness, their wisdom and their creativity – to meet the needs of their neighbors close to home and far away.

One Great Hour of Sharing works to meet the needs of others – locally, personally and effectively – when we trust ourselves, our gifts, and our churches to follow where the Holy Spirit leads.
