News Release:

The Albion District churches have been asked by the Michigan Area Haiti Task-force (UMC) to collect a total of $3000 ($3000 altogether, not each!) in support of a specific Haiti earthquake relief project. Every church has been asked to take up a special collection on Sunday, Feb. 7 and/or 14 for this project, which will fuel an airplane and fill it with medical supplies for earthquake survivors.

 

Congregations that give to this special offering are asked to follow up in two ways: 1) contact the District Office asap with the total you have collected; and 2) have your church treasurer make out a check (payable to the West Michigan Conference Treasurer) and send it to the District Office. If more than $3000 is collected, the District Mission Committee will direct the additional monies to other Haiti earthquake relief efforts -- there will be many, for a long time to come.

 

Questions? Contact Rev. Tamara Williams or Sarah Gillette in the District Office.

If you are United Methodist and living in Michigan you likely have heard about the tragedy in Haiti.  The Michigan Area has a long and deep relationship with the people of the Methodist Church of Haiti and their communities.  The Detroit and West Michigan Conferences have multiple Volunteer in Mission teams that routinely travel to various parts of the Haitian urban and country landscape.  The Area Haiti Task Force has helped focus water projects, the Haiti Hot Lunch Program, Grace Children’s Hospital, helping build multiple schools and church buildings, all centered around relationships and shared hope through Jesus Christ.
