PWS&D is Responding to Devastation in the Aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan

http://presbyterian.ca/pwsd/2013/11/11/emergency-appeal-help-urgently-needed-in-aftermath-of-typhoon-haiyan/

On Friday November 8^th, the strongest typhoon to ever hit land slammed into the central Philippines. Weakened, but still powerful, it made landfall in Vietnam on Monday, November 11^th.

Current estimates are saying that over 10,000 people have been killed in Tacloban City, Philippines alone. Hundreds of thousands have been forced out of their homes. Power and communications lines were knocked out across the region. Widespread destruction has made it difficult to determine the full extent of the casualties and damage.

Presbyterian World Service & Development partners Church World Service-Asia/Pacific and ACT Alliance are on the ground, working hard to assess the damage and determine the needs in response to this enormous disaster. PWS&D’s response will support the immediate needs of those most affected. Essential food and non-food items, including shelter and hygiene materials, will be provided as quickly as possible.

Many in the area are dependent on agriculture and aqua-culture for survival and their livelihoods will be impacted significantly. Over the longer-term, PWS&D and partners will work with those whose livelihoods have been affected by the typhoon.

*The Government of Canada announced that it would match all donations for Typhoon Haiyan relief efforts. To be eligible for the match, donations must be made between November 9 and December 9, 2013.

On September 5th it was an pleasure to have Kathy Parks in our pulpits, and an honour to welcome back Moderator David Sutherland for a special evening prayer service, where “Jack” John Keswick Sutherland [son of the Rev. “Sandy” Sutherland & Marly] was baptized in the Richibucto River.
Here are some pictures from that happy event.

On September 15th Lochlan Little – son of David and Whitney Little, was baptized at St. James in Beersville.

Welcome to the family in Christ boys!

Lochlan and Jack happen to be second cousins.

Come on out for a fun-food-filled fellowship as we get together for a good ol’ country corn boil!!
4:30-6pm at the Beersville Community Hall [by the Cross roads in Beersville].

On July 19th  Gage Fillmore was born to Trevor & Barb, and now we welcome his cousin Sadie Fillmore Eastwood – born August 28th to Krista & Ash.  A blessing for beloved grandparents, great grandparents, friends neighbours and our family in Christ.

Rev. Sandy & Marly are very pleased to announce the birth of their son “Jack” John Keswick Sutherland; born July 12th 2013 8lbs 1oz. Healthy and happy! A new blessing for us all to share.

July the 7th and the 14th we welcomed the Rev. Dr. David Sutherland; Moderator of the 139th General Assembly as he led us in worship. David also enjoyed leading the music portion of this year’s VBS. And I think the children enjoyed “Poppy’s” playing too.

On July the 7th and the 14th we will welcome the Rev. Dr. David Sutherland, Moderator of the 139th General Assembly, as he leads us in worship both Sundays!

Rev. D. Sutherland will also be on hand during our annual vacation bible school week July 8th to 12th helping lead the music portion of our program.
