Turkey and Syria Need Our Help!

Friends,

We are still receiving news regarding the damage and loss of life caused by the devastating earthquake and after shocks on the border of Turkey and Syria. If you would like to give to recovery efforts, please read this letter (below) from Kent Saldadi, Director of Philanthrophy at the national setting.

On this journey of faith together,
Lorraine

Dear Friend:

The news continues to unfold about the devastating earthquake on the border of Turkey and Syria. The death toll continues to rise – numbers are pointing to over 5,000 – depending on the source. This is shattering news and adds to the challenges of the war in this area for over a decade.

The UCC has posted a prayer and short statement in response to this crisis. While the earthquake was on the border, the tremors were felt as far away as Lebanon and Cyprus. At this time, we are issuing an appeal to help recovery efforts in Turkey and Syria. It is hard to tell what other areas are affected or the extent of the damage from this seismic event.

Amid this current uncertainty, you can be certain that with your financial support the United Church of Christ will be there helping those in need. Give generously by clicking here. You may also text UCCDISASTER to 41444.

Sincerely,
Kent Siladi
Director of Philanthropy
