Special Collection this weekend to benefit Haitian Relief

Source de VieBefore the earthquake, Haiti had been described as one of the poorest countries on the face of the earth. After the earthquake, it became the poorest country on earth. Next weekend, through the Annual Mission Cooperative Appeal, we welcome Deacon Enock Berluche who will speak with us on behalf of the people of Haiti and the Source de Vie Community in Allentown. Source de Vie means “Source of Life.”

Funds are needed for projects to help the community in Haiti become self-sufficient. Hear the story, understand the plea. Your generous financial support for the Haitian people will be greatly appreciated.
