Haiti Earthquake Appeal
A massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Port-au-Prince, the
capital of impoverished Haiti on Tuesday, causing widespread
death and destruction and leaving relief workers scrambling to
pull people from the rubble.
 Over
three million people are estimated to have been affected by the
powerful quake, leaving homes and schools in ruins, destroying
infrastructure and trapping people in the debris. The city is
without electricity and the telephone network has broken down.
The UN headquarters has collapsed and people are sitting in the
streets with nowhere to go. While a full assessment is still
ongoing, thousands are estimated dead with millions of dollars
of damage.
PWS&D Responds - PWS&D is responding to this
emergency situation through the Action by Churches Together
Alliance. ACT staff on the ground are carrying out assessments
of damage and the needs of survivors. While international aid is
being flown in, ACT has been working on the ground from the
moment the earthquake occurred. ACT is planning to send a rapid
support team of at least a response coordinator, a communicator,
two water and sanitation experts and a finance expert. ACT
members are also preparing to send water and sanitation
materials, hygiene kits, and psychosocial workers to the
devastated area.
You Can Help - The people of Haiti need your prayers
and financial support to bring hope and relief. Congregations
and individuals are encouraged to bring help to the situation by
making a donation to PWS&D. Donations can be added to Knox’s
regular offering envelopes. Mark the center section of the
envelope 'Haiti Relief' and indicate the amount or donate online.
Presbyterian World Service & Development is the
development and relief agency of The Presbyterian Church in
Canada.

We are delighted to welcome our theme speaker, Rev. Dr. Nancy
Cocks, who is presently Senior Minister at St. John's
Presbyterian Church in Medicine Hat, where she was baptized
several years ago and is also author of the series of books on
Fergie the Frog.
The theme this year is God's Grace Through the Generations.
Drawing on the research for book growing up with God and
on work she did at VST in children's and adolescent
spirituality, Nancy will lead us on how to interact with younger
generations in a variety of roles and relationships.
