Three-Part
Series Continues Sunday
Christian
Response to Poverty in Charlotte
 As
the economy struggles to regain its strength, thousands in
our community are without permanent shelter, many are
hungry, and thousands of children in our school system are
homeless. What is the impact on those who struggle? And what
is our Christian response to those in need?
The second part of a three-week series on Poverty in Charlotte
continues this Sunday at 10:45 in Fellowship Hal, room
207. The third part of this series also begins at
10:45 am, in FH 207. This
series is an important follow-up to the February 21 convocation
presented by Michael Marsicano, CEO, Foundation for
the Carolinas (left). Did you miss his talk? You can catch

Your
Donations At Work in Haiti
 Covenant has
supported Presbyterian ministries in Haiti for many
years. We know
these ministries, trust them and stand at the ready
to support them in this time of crisis. Covenant has
contributed to the
Medical Benevolence Foundation, a
long established mission of the PC (USA)
. Senior Minister Bob Henderson serves
on the MBF Board. Covenant’s donations along with
those of many other Presbyterian congregations are
already being put to use for the recovery of medical
care in Leogane, Haiti. Thanks to you and many others,
medicine, medical supplies and equipment have been
sent and used.
More help is needed, and your
continued donations are vital. Over the next weeks
and months, repairs need to be made to the badly
damaged Sacre Cour
Hospital and the water tower at the Haiti
School of Nursing. In the meantime, a modular
building will be constructed on the grounds of the
nursing school to serve as a hospital and clinic for
earthquake survivors. MBF
is looking for a volunteer with mechanical skills to
be part of that project.

accomplishing in Haiti:

progress report from MBF here.
Covenant has set up a special fund to
receive donations for Haiti Earthquake Relief and will transfer 100% of your gift
directly to those we know on the front lines of the work in
Haiti. Make your check out to Covenant Presbyterian
and mark it "Haiti Relief." |
