Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) urges your support for those affected by Hurricane Florence. PDA is delivering immediate aid to those impacted by the storm on the Eastern Seaboard. Initial assessment suggests catastrophic destruction, but the full scope of the damage will not be known for many months. PDA is deploying teams to affected presbyteries to meet with Presbyterian and community leadership to assist in coordinating relief efforts and mucking out homes and churches. After initial needs are addressed, PDA will remain ~ providing spiritual and emotional care and long-term recovery to address the unmet needs of those impacted.

Some of us will go to LifeCare to work on cleaning and other chores designated by them, others will go to Hope House to clean and work on tasks they have for us, while others will remain at the church and design bags for our Thanksgiving bags to Hope House or put together various mixes to give our 2nd Friday Community friends. We also have an opportunity to serve homes right around our church! Without YOU, all this is not possible. We NEED YOU, so please sign up if you have not done so.

At 11:30 am, we will head back to church where we will have a potluck, sit together and share our stories about how we helped make a difference. All are welcome to the luncheon!!!

Ripples of Change is based in Ottawa and it serves local residents with education and new social networks to fight poverty. ‘Poverty, Inc.’ is an in-depth look at the long-lasting human impacts of foreign aid. It tells the stories of entrepreneurs in developing countries filling the gaps left by foreign aid organizations. The lessons learned from the global fight are similar in nature to our local fight. On Sunday, November 18th there will be a screening and discussion of the ‘Poverty, Inc.’ documentary held at the Ottawa University Student Union from 2:30 pm-4:00 pm. There will be a free-will donation to benefit Ripples of Change that will be accepted at this event.
