Philippine Disaster Relief This Sunday



 I can’t sit by and watch as disaster strikes. I have to do something. The typhoon that hit the Philippines this past Friday was beyond devastating to the country. Relief workers are completely overwhelmed by the scale of the disaster, especially because the country’s infrastructure was not great even before the typhoon hit. The best way to get involved is to offer up monetary gifts to charitable relief organizations. To find a comprehensive list of these organizations please click here for the New York Times’ list.


So, this Sunday after the service we’ll be having a “Minute to Win it” fundraiser. Participation will be open to everyone. Here’s how it will work: folks will donate “tips” to the game stations in exchange for playing the games… which all take one minute, or less. We'll be having fun and raising money for a great cause.

Would you like to volunteer to run one of these game stations? Just email or call Emily. All stations will be set up and ready to go before the service this Sunday, 11/17. All proceeds will be donated to the Philippine Red Cross for disaster relief.

Peace, Love, and Laughter,

Emily
