2019 Mission Trip to Haiti


We Need Your Help!

Let’s fill up a tool shed at the Yahve Jire Children’s Foundation in Haiti with construction and gardening tools!!  For 10 years we have carried 200 pounds of tools to and from Haiti to use for building garden beds, playgrounds, dormitories, clothes lines, planting trees, building computer tables and library shelves.  It is time that we build a tool shed and outfit it with these tools so that the different mission teams assisting each year will have what they need to work with without having to pay for suitcases of tools.  We would rather use the space to take needed supplies to the children and the community. 

It’s easy to help, just locate the tool shed poster in the church library, choose a tool, donate the amount on the tool and put it in the slot at the top of the tool shed. The team will do the rest. We will be purchasing the tools in Haiti to help their economy. 

*Stay tuned for more information about a spring yard sale (donations welcome!!!, start watching Marie Kondo on YouTube and spring clean your homes)  and coming in April a take-out BBQ plate – all to benefit team members and our projects at the Family Home

Baptism of the Lord

We had a guest speaker today:  Dr. Joseph Ward is recently retired and lives in Raleigh.  He has served as pastor of PCUSA congregations in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and both Raleigh and Warsaw NC.  He and his wife susan have four adult children; two live in the Raleigh area and two in other states.  A favorite area of study and publication is Jewish roots of Christianity and the person of Jesus.  This has led him into several joint studies and speaking engagements in synagogues as well as three visits to the land of Israel/Palestine.  We thank him for joining us today!
