ALMS FOR THE VICTIMS OF SANDY
One of
the principles of a faith community is helping others in a time of need.
The second commandment is, “love thy neighbor as thyself.” To this end,
we are called to be generous in aiding our brothers and sisters that were
victims of Hurricane Sandy. The “Episcopal Relief and Development
Sandy Response Fund” is focused on providing rapid response to assist in
putting neighborhoods back together so people can get on with their
lives. In the past, we have experienced the massive damage that
Hurricanes Katrina and Charlie brought and know the disruption, frustration,
and hopelessness these disasters bring. Saint Thomas sent teams to assist
victims after Katrina in New Orleans. While this is a noble and
satisfying experience, in this situation, it is impractical.
Our
outreach in this emergency is providing funds for response and rehabilitation;
this is the most efficient way to help. Please pray for the victims that
they are provided with all that is necessary and that they are treated
respectfully. Your donations will help them get back on their feet.
Funds will be received through November 31st; make your check out to
Saint Thomas with a note that it is for the Episcopal Relief and Development
Sandy Response Fund. We appreciate your consideration for this
appeal. Thank
you.
Sincerely,
Walt
