Last November when the tornadoes hit our area, Week of Compassion was in touch within days to learn if we had people who had suffered loss. Checks representing “Compassion grants” arrived very quickly. This money was immediately available because we, along with many others, had given to WOC previously. It was available because of consistent, on-going support for WOC. Week of Compassion is supported solely by special gifts and does not receive funding from Disciples Mission Fund. Please consider prayerfully your role in maintaining that consistent, on-going support for this important ministry as we prepare to receive this year’s special offering.
On February 23, Don Tatlock of Church World Service will be our guest speaker to tell the Week of Compassion story. Don has served our church in the mission field in Latin America and in his work at CWS is a close partner with Week of Compassion. This will be his second time as our WOC speaker. He will preach in both services and will join us for lunch at the all-church dinner honoring new members that day.
