PCIN Breaks 'One Great Hour' Record
Our One Great Hour of Sharing campaign for 2010 set an all-time church record of $1,005 raised to benefit three important causes: Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, Presbyterian Hunger Program and Presbyterian Self-Development of People. Thanks to the children for filling their fish banks and thanks to the adults, too, for their donations. With Haiti and Chile still in recovery, these funds will help the Presbyterian Church USA help people where there is pain, suffering, hunger, poverty and homelessness.
Seed Hope in Haiti
Our special collection to aid the victims of the earthquake disaster in Haiti raised $3,330 (as of the end of January). These funds were matched two-to-one by our Mission Investment Fund for a total of $9,900. Three quarters of these funds ($7,492.50) will go to Haiti through
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance and one quarter ($2,497.50) will go directly to
GHESKIO, a clinic in Haiti that fights infectious disease and that is serving as a temporary field hospital and refugee camp. If you haven't given to this cause already, please consider multiplying your donation by giving through the church.
