Support Haiti!
One of our FPCG members, Liz Drum, is currently in Haiti on a medical outreach team.
Liz is an anesthesiologist with special training in pediatric anesthesiology and is serving on a surgical team in Jacmel. We are so proud of the work Liz is doing! Join us as we support her in prayer. You can follow her blog here: http://edrum19.blogspot.com
While most of us won’t be able to go to Haiti personally, the Mission and Outreach committee has provided us with an opportunity to get involved.
Together with Church World Service, we are assembling small hygiene kits that will be sent to Haiti. You can find the clear gallon zip-lock bags on the info table at church. Just fill up the bag with the simple and inexpensive items that are listed in the kit. These items include: hand towel, bandaids, bar of soap, and toothbrush, among other things.
Additionally, The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is also responding with relief efforts to the disaster caused by the earthquake in Haiti through the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Program. It is our monies given to the One Great Hour of Sharing offering each year (one of our Challenge Offerings) that makes this assistance possible. To learn how the Presbyterian Church is helping and for more information about the disaster you can visit the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance web site at www.pcusa.org/pda. If you would like to contribute further to the relief efforts you may do so through that web site. If you do not have access to a computer but wish to contribute, you can give to The First Presbyterian Church in Germantown and mark your contribution to be used for Haiti.
Be part of God's plan to provide care and hope for the earthquake survivors in Haiti!
