UMCOR for Haiti 01/13/2010
 
Dear FHUMC Family
 
As I believe everyone knows by now Haiti was devastated by an earthquake yesterday.  We will be collecting a special offering this Sunday and in the days ahead for UMCOR, the United Methodist Committee on Relief. This is the emergency aid arm of the church that provides long lasting presence and relief to areas impacted by a disaster.  As the operating costs of UMCOR are paid through apportionments, every dollar collected will go to Haiti.  Please consider participating in this offering above and beyond giving to the church, and indicate Haiti Offering on checks or cash envelopes.
 
In a related matter close to FHUMC, I talked with Burt Palmer and Ellen Palmer was in Haiti but left just hours before the quake and is safe in the Dominican Republic.  That is a joy.  But I do ask everyone to pray for a team from Highland Park UMC who was at an eye clinic established by the church in a small town outside Port Au Prince.  The team is trapped there and there are conflicting reports of injuries to the team members.   Please keep the team in your prayers.
 
Kenny
