We have all seen in the news the terrible destruction in Haiti from the January 12th earthquake and the aftershocks. We took a special offering in the services on January 31st to go towards helping the people of Haiti, and you generously gave $6718.82! If you missed this opportunity to give, you can designate a gift toward Haiti in next week's offering as well.
Our donations will go through Canadian Baptist Ministries (CBM). They have been responding to immediate needs in Haiti through Baptist World Aid (BWA), and they are making plans to support the recovery and reconstruction efforts through sending skilled volunteer teams, and through sending resources to groups already on the ground there. Our donations sent through CBM do qualify for the matching grant offered by the Canadian Government.
