Focus on Haiti

Filed Under Education Ministry, Social Ministry, Worship Ministry by St. Paul's Church Office

March 7, 2010 – 9:45 am – Schafer Hall
The Sunday School children will be assembling health kits for Lutheran World Relief that will be sent to the people of Haiti as part of the disaster relief. These kits will include basic needs for living, as families struggle with life on the streets. All the supplies will be provided; no purchases are necessary – only loving hearts and hands. Come be a part of this project with the children! What a wonderful service opportunity to help those who cannot help themselves during this time of disaster.

Sunday, March 14
On Sunday March 14th, St. Paul’s will focus on the disaster in Haiti. Deaconess Cassie will preach and share some experiences following her medical mission trip to Haiti. Everyone is invited to move to Schafer Hall after the worship service, where slides will be shown and Cassie will be available to answer questions.
