Haiti Relief Bulletin

haitirelief

Important Bulletin from Risen Lamb Church of the Nazarene. All other news and introductions are below this bulletin.

A major earthquake hit Haiti Tuesday, January 12, 2010. Roughly a third of the population of the country has been affected, with extreme shortages in food, water, shelter, fuel, and medical care. Local Nazarenes are working to distribute food, water, tents, and provide medical attention.

With nearly 120,000 Haitian Nazarenes, responders on the ground are working diligently to provide relief and comfort to the Haitian people. Nazarene Compassionate Ministries in the Caribbean is partnering with various organizations including Heart to Heart International and World Vision to immediately mobilize skilled and experienced disaster response teams. General Superintendent J.K. Warrick has sent out a call for help saying: “I plead with [Nazarenes] to respond with prayers, financial gifts, and other types of assistance as may be appropriate.”

Pastor Friday’s Corner

"Jesus said that if anyone would follow him, then they must deny themselves, take up their cross and follow him. We will examine what it really means to deny ourselves and to follow Jesus wholeheartedly. What will we have to go through by carrying our crosses? Join me as we explore the words of our Lord and seek to participate faithfully in the Kingdom of God."

Welcome to Risen Lamb International Church of the Nazarene website. You have indeed come to the right place. Here at Risen Lamb we serve the Lord obediently according to His Word as we seek to be faithful participants in the Great Commission. There is nothing better than Sharing the Glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. As a part of a greater family in the Church of the Nazarene, we believe that the Lord continues to work in us every single day as we are being transformed into His image because that is the Lord’s will for us.

Your visit today is a blessing to us. We have several resources linked on this website you will find useful to you and your loved ones. But most of all I believe you will find an opportunity to join us for worship on Sunday morning and for prayer on Sunday evening. Risen Lamb is a place of celebration where we worship the Lord in Truth and in Spirit.

My prayer for you is that the Lord may bless you and keep you this day. And may the Lord grant you strength for each day to come.

Yours in the Lord,

Rev Philip Friday, Pastor.
