Dear Friends,
A bulletin insert will be made available on Sunday for people to make donations to ELCA Disaster Response. It is my understanding that 100% of your donation will go to direct relief. If you wish, you may send the donation form directly to ELCA Disaster Response, but if you turn in your donation to me on Sunday (or any time) I will make sure it gets to ELCA Disaster Response ASAP.
If you wish to give right now using a credit/debit card, go to www.elca.org/disaster to make a donation, or call ELCA Disaster Response at 1-800-638-3522.
If you are a Thrivent member you have an opportunity to make your donation larger, go to www.thrivent.com/helpinghaiti. If you make your donation there, Thrivent will match every $2.00 with $1.00.
As you probably know, Haiti is one of the poorest countries on Earth. I cannot begin to imagine the devastation that has been wrought on a people already poor and hungry. I am sure any amount will be appreciated. Whether you can give money or not, prayers are most needed at this time.
Pastor Bill Barter
