Local Presbyterian Churches Help Raise
$1 Million
for Haiti Relief
In the aftermath of the earthquake, the people of Haiti are suffering beyond imagination and are crying out for the most basic of needs: water, food, clothing and shelter. They desperately need our help – help that will be needed for weeks, months and years to come.
On Wednesday, The Presbyterian Church U.S.A. released $100,000 from the One Great Hour of Sharing fund to help earthquake victims in Haiti. The Presbyterian Church has set an initial goal of raising $1million for continued relief efforts.
You can join other Presbyterians in helping the people of Haiti with a special gift designated to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance for Haiti.
Please place your donation in our pew envelope and mark it "Haiti"
Who We Are as a People of Faith?
Compelled by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the tradition of reformed theology, and our experiences of God's grace, we boldly and publicly proclaim:
- We gather together to Worship.
- We are committed to a circle that is wide and unbroken, and declare that all who desire to join with us will be welcomed and respected.
- We wrestle with and nurture the tensions that arise from our differences, and we celebrate our shared faith.
- We are a learning community.
- We support each other in our struggles to learn and practice what it means to live the Gospel in our individual and collective lives.
- We are open to the moving of the Spirit and open to change in ourselves and in our community.
- We see service to the greater community and to the world as an essential part of the life of the church.
