Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Thank you for your prayers for the people of Haiti as the latest earthquake has compounded their humanitarian crisis. We are in contact with Bishop Ogé Beauvoir and Food for the Poor. We have assured them of our prayers and financial assistance. I am writing now to invite you and your congregations to join this vital effort.
I am asking that each parish make a special appeal this Sunday, in direct support of the people of Haiti.
Please make all checks payable to “The Episcopal Diocese of Long Island” and send as follows:
Office of Stewardship
The Episcopal Diocese of Long Island
36 Cathedral Avenue
Garden City, NY 11530
Note: “Haiti Relief”
We will provide direct support in order to effectively keep the church’s critical pipeline of food and aid flowing to some of our most vulnerable brothers and sisters. Thank you for helping us to meet the basic human needs of the Body of Christ in Haiti.
Please continue to pray. We will keep you updated as this disaster continues to unfold, and through the extended period of recovery.
May the Easter promise of resurrection sustain us at this time.
Faithfully,
|
