United Methodist Response Begins Tragedy struck the already-beleaguered nation of Haiti on January 12. The magnitude-7 earthquake effectively flattened the capital city of Port-au-Prince, affecting an estimated 3 million people and killing untold tens of thousands.
The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is already responding. “UMCOR has always had a strong presence in Haiti,” UMCOR executive Tom Hazelwood said. “With this tragedy, we’ll just be redoubling our efforts, and we’ll be calling on people across the country to help us.”
Middleburg UMC will be taking up special offerings for the work UMCOR will be doing in Haiti Jan. 17th and 24th. Please join us as we begin the work of helping the people of Haiti.
