Week of Compassion continues to partner with numerous humanitarian agencies to support relief work in Haiti. The earthquake that struck the Caribbean nation on Jan. 12 has killed more than 150,000 people, injured another 250,000 and left 1.5 million homeless. Working in close partnership with Church World Service and Action by Churches Together (ACT) Alliance, the generous gifts and offerings made by Disciples are helping to provide food, water, medical supplies and temporary shelter. Aid is getting through. Despite media reports, WoC Executive Director Amy Gopp says longstanding partnerships in the region are facilitating the flow of supplies to many who need it.

A master list of the more than 300 participating companies as well as order forms are available in the Narthex.

Children & Youth Groups meet on Sunday Evenings
JYF 1st-5th CYF/Chi Rho 6th-12th
5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Both groups start with prayer and mealtime together. The groups then split up and do age appropriate lessons & activities that are Scripture centered. They meet together at the end of the evening to pray together before leaving. By splitting the age groups we are able to meet them at their level but we also provide a sense of community by eating and praying together as one group.
