Haiti Relief/Aid: We are working with the Diocese of Alabama to determine the best way to help those suffering as a result of the recent earthquake. At this point, due to logistical problems of getting things into and out of the country, the best thing we can do is pray and give much needed money. Episcopal Relief and Development is already on t he ground working with the Diocese of Haiti in channeling supplies and aid to those in need. This is a wonderful organization. You may give to ERD through the Ascension or give directly to ERD by clicking here... We will keep you updated on ways you can help. We will certainly do more hands on outreach (donation of supplies, mission trip) in the coming weeks and months as those opportunities are available and viable. Read more ...
