February 12 — 11 AM Worship
You can find the order of worship and songs here.
We have been receiving the news of the devastating earthquakes in Syria and Turkey this week. As of February 10, it is estimated that about 22,000 people have lost their lives. This number is likely going to rise higher in the coming days. This is a great tragedy. We are particularly mindful of the fact that the events we have been following in Acts 13–15 took place in the very regions now devastated by these earthquakes.
How can we help? First, it behooves us to intercede on behalf of the suffering. We pray for God's mercy, for help and resource to reach the suffering people, and for comfort for the grieving.
Second, if you are able, would you please consider donating towards relief efforts? Mission to the World (MTW) is the foreign missions agency of our denomination. MTW has a well-documented history of ministering to disaster victims at a much lower operating cost than typical aid organizations and charities. The funds donated through MTW will be used for disaster response, meeting both physical and spiritual needs. You can read more about it here.
