Support the victims of the Haiti earthquake!
We have all been shocked at the amount of destruction last week’s earthquake has brought to our neighbors in Haiti, possibly more than 50,000 dead and countless others injured, homeless, desperate. Please give generously to this relief effort by going to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA), the internationally respected and truly outstanding disaster relief agency of the PC(USA), along with their partner Church World Service. Let us intercede in prayer for all of our dear sisters and brothers in Haiti. |
