Fishing to serve the world

One Great Hour of Sharing

During Lent, Presbyterians in Marshall and all over the country are stuffing cardboard fish with coins for the One Great Hour of Sharing offering.  Again this year MPC will have a "fishing contest" with another Presbyterian Church in Texas - sharing the fun in a conference call the Sunday after Easter.  

Your organization may want to apply for help from the One Great Hour of Sharing.  Madison County's Neighbors in Need has been granted funds from OGHS in the past. 

The combined offerings are shared through grants:

Worship is cancelled for January 20...

Dicey, icy conditions around the county means the worship service for Sunday, January 20, is canceled.
We know you would figuratively break a leg to get here, but we don't want it to literally happen!
Stay home, stay warm, and we'll see you next week!
