Response to Haiti

We've all seen photos and heard countless stories about the tragic earthquake that took place in Haiti last week. We, as a community of faithful people, must not forget to pray for the people of Haiti in the days, weeks, and years ahead. Pray for the orphans, the grieving, the hungry, the thirsty and the hurt. Pray for doctors and nurses, and all of those risking their lives to save others. Whatever you do, pray.

If, however, you are willing and able to make a financial contribution to the disaster relief efforts, we recommend doing so through the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), an agency of the United Methodist Church known for its superior assistance to those in need. 100% of all money you donate to UMCOR goes directly to relief efforts. Not one penny goes to pay executives or send out mailings. Click here to make an online contribution.
