A simple meal on the table here to put a simple meal on the table there.

Turkey dinner (two seatings), with a short update from our Haiti Team.

Silent Auction of a wide variety of quality items, representing a wide range of starting bids.

They sit around a table, nourished not just by the food on their plates, but by the companionship of one another and their caregivers.  They are vulnerable souls in a vulnerable place, finding safety and wholeness and belonging.

They are the Grammas and Grandpas of Auberge des Vieillard (Inn for the Elderly) in Pignon, Haiti.   A refuge of care overseen by Haitian Pastors Abdon and Lumide and the astonishingly generous folks of the Evangelical Missionary Church there.  

This is their vision, their passion -- something you'll hear more about at Highview on Sunday, February 19th for our service: "Of Haitian Threads and Tapestries".  We are honoured to partner with them in this mission that so closely reflects the heart of God.

Food, water, clothing, medical care and medicine, supplies and equipment, plus the healing power of belonging to a loving community....all of this is where all the funds raised on February 25th will go.

So often, as I watch the news, I am tempted to be overcome, even paralyzed by the enormity of the needs so evident all around the world.  But this.  This is something I can do.  I invite you to join me, and a whole team of eager, selfless hearts behind this event, to make a HUGE difference.
