Help is on the way – what is needed in Haiti, what is not 
January 28, 2010

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance continues to respond in Haiti. As of January 28, 2010, in addition to a key expert being assigned to Haiti to carry out assessments, $409,000 has been sent to assist with emergency needs. Presbyterian Disaster Assistance is responding as a member of the ACT Alliance (ACT.)

The response in Haiti is still in the relatively early phase of emergency relief. The most effective way to respond is through financial support. PDA is not requesting material aid, other than the preparation of Gift of the Heart hygiene and baby kits, to replenish the supply after more than 35,000 kits have been directed to Haiti. Volunteers are not requested at this time

Millwood Community PC Teaches Green Living
Friday, January 29, 2010 (0 reads)



The New York Times recently featured an article called Pastors in Northwest Find Focus in Green, including Millwood Community Presbyterian Church in Spokane. From the Times: State auditors told the church last summer to close its farmers' market on the church parking lot or the lot could no longer be claimed as tax-exempt. The church kept the market and paid the $700 in annual taxes. Money is tight, but the locally raised beef and vegetables and, most important, the environmentally-minded customers had become central to the 90-year-old church's ministry. Across the Northwest, where church attendance has long been low but concern for the environment high, some church leaders and parishioners are ringing doorbells to inform neighbors - many of whom have never stepped inside the sanctuary down the street - about ways to conserve energy and lower their utility bills. Some view the new push as a way to revitalize their congregations and reconnect with their nearby community.  Read the article
