Help for PCA folk affected by Katrina
From Covenant's all-campus announcements:
"This is a big blow to Southeast Louisiana Presbytery. We may have lost three churches, two church plants and a Ministry. They are: Desire Street Fellowship plant, Desire Street ministries. Three Rivers Presbyterian Church in Covington, Trinity Presbyterian in Slidell, Redeemer Church plant in New Orleans, and Grace Presbyterian Church, Metarie. The fate of all of these is unknown at this time. Life around here has changed for a while. Pray that we will minister and the church should during this lengthy event."
PCA members will be able to provide assistance for victims of Hurricane Katrina. Mission to North America will oversee disaster relief through Ron and Judy Haynes, who will coordinate PCA volunteer efforts. Many types of skills and time commitments will be needed once the assessment of needs is completed. To register to volunteer, go here. You can also e-mail Ron and Judy: rhanes [at] pcanet [dot] org.
Financial donations are also needed. It is anticipated that there will be needs for months to come for direct assistance to PCA families and for relief operations expenses. Donations can be sent by check to MNA designated for Hurricane Relief to 1700 N. Brown Rd., #101, Lawrenceville, GA 30043, or by credit card online. Donations of food, clothes, etc., for now, should be made to other organizations that are making appeals for immediate needs.
And claim the promises of Psalm 46 for everyone still reeling from this disaster.
