The recent earthquake in Haiti has, for the most part, destroyed a country that's not much bigger than the Dallas-Fort Worth region. Please be in prayer for for the group of missionaries from Dallas who were there when the earthquake occurred and, of course, the Haitian people. Thousands are suffering great loss and hardship and assistance is needed. Please lift up in your prayers all of those affected as well as those involved in search and rescue efforts. Additionally, consider cash donations. Checks given at church should have UMCOR fund #277 noted in the memo; 100 percent of these funds will go directly to disaster victims through the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR).
