Haiti: Presbyterians are Present - How YOU Can Help
The devastation of Haiti after the earthquake is on so many of our hearts and in our prayers. Here is the response from the national PC-USA
We pray for Haiti
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As the eyes of the world turn to Haiti, let us join our hearts in prayer:
God of compassion
Please watch over the people of Haiti,
And weave out of these terrible happenings
wonders of goodness and grace.
Surround those who have been affected by tragedy
With a sense of your present love,
And hold them in faith.
Though they are lost in grief,
May they find you and be comforted;
Guide us as a church
To find ways of providing assistance
that heals wounds and provides hope
Help us to remember that when one of your children suffer
We all suffer
Through Jesus Christ who was dead, but lives
and rules this world with you. Amen.
(Adapted from Book of Common Worship)

Last Chance! Sign Up for Mid Winter Mission Trip!
Hi Friends,
The Lake City Presbyterian Mission Department requested that I send out an online reminder to let you know there is one more day to sign up for:
ALL CHURCH Mid-Winter Mission Trip
Bellingham,WA/Whatcom County/Lummi Reservation
Wednesday February 17th through Sunday February 21st, 2010
(takes place during Seattle/Shoreline/Northshore School Districts Mid-Winter Break)
We still have a 'mininum' number of spots to fill to be able to commit to the trip. With a few more registrations we can meet the goal, Mission Dept. will be making that decision tomorrow night at their monthly meeting. "All-church" means that all ages are welcome. Real beds will be provided so you won't be roughing it. All types of folks are needed. I'm planning to attend and the Mission Team has even encouraged me to bring my daughters along if I need (so this really is an all ages effort - come on your own or bring your family!)
Please Contact Holly Kennell [206-363-9370] by tomorrow (Tuesday, Jan. 5th) before 5pm if you are interested in this trip.
Here is some further information:
Mission: We will be helping some folks in the Lummi nation, who provide housing for those in need, and perhaps other projects as well. Final decisions about projects will be made after we know the composition of the team. We will be taking care of ourselves, so drivers, cooks and spiritual leaders are also encouraged to participate.
Required Forms: (click to print)
Accommodations: The team will be housed at Lutherwood, a Christian camp in Bellingham, WA, overlooking Lake Samish. Real beds will be provided, so this is not a mission trip that will require you to “rough it.”
Cost: The general cost is $190 per person**, which will cover travel, accommodations, meals at the camp and programming. We need a commitment from you and a non-refundable deposit of $50 by January 5th to secure your place on the team. The final $140 must be paid by January 15th.
** If you have a desire to participate, but are unsure how you would fund the trip, please talk with Holly Kennell or Joan Wilson about financial aid options. Youth participants may be eligible for financial help from the Christian Education Department.
Again, Please Contact Holly Kennell [206-363-9370] by tomorrow (Tuesday, Jan. 5th) before 5pm if you are interested in this trip.
