Rescuers are still working to find survivors amid the rubble. Haiti was already suffering from political instability following last month's assassination of President Jovenel Moïse.

To our loving God, continue to hold the people of Haiti in your loving arms; have mercy on those who are suffering, on those who have lost family members, as well as on the many who have lost sources of income. May the Holy Spirit inspire the people to find ways to be together in recovering from this disaster. All of this we pray in your name.   Amen.

We received the news that Sam Eckberg, our Senior Choir Director, has been offered a position as a choral Section Leader at House of Hope Presbyterian Church in St. Paul.  His wife Allison is also a section leader there.  Sam will be greatly missed; however, we wish him well on his new venture.
