Earthquake Response -- Chile & Haiti
Recalling the words of Psalm 27,
"The Creator will shelter me
in the day of trouble,
Will take me in and conceal me
under the folds of the tent,
Will set me high on a rock
out of harm’s way…"

Gracious One,
May Your presence be with all who mourn today,read more...
