An Ash Wednesday Service
February 17, 7 pm

On January 12, a powerful earthquake hit approximately ten miles from the capital of Haiti, Port-au-Prince. An earthquake of this magnitude would be devastating to any city, but in one of the poorest countries in the Western hemisphere its effects are catastrophic. Millions of people have been affected by the disaster and hundreds of thousands are feared dead. With many of the established sources of safety and security demolished - churches, schools, hospitals, and government buildings - survivors are searching for signs of hope and help.

The international response has been strong; however, Haiti's needs are great and will remain for the long haul. How should - ought - the church respond in this critical moment?

On Wednesday, February 17, Oglethorpe Presbyterian Church will host a joint service with our neighbors from Brookhaven Christian Church. In our worship, in our prayer, in our music, in our silence, we will not only hold the Haitian people in prayer. We will open ourselves to the foolish possibility that we might actually be a glimmer of hope and help.

We will be collecting funds to support Presbyterian Disaster Assistance and Week of Compassion immediate and long-term response.

If you can't come, you can still...
Act.
Pray.
Give.
Ache.
Hope.
