Bethesda will be preparing Hygiene Kits for Haiti, please help! Kits are due by Sunday, January 31. Please consider giving a donation through the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. Find all information below.
Hygiene Kit
1 — hand towel (approximately 16″ x 28″, no fingertip or bath towels) 1 — washcloth 1 — wide-tooth comb 1 — nail clipper (no metal files or emery boards) 1 — bar of soap (bath size in wrapper) 1 — toothbrush (in original packaging) 6 — Band-Aids® or other adhesive bandage strips
Please do not add toothpaste to the Hygiene Kit. Toothpaste which has an extended expiration date will be added to Hygiene Kit shipments just prior to shipment. Seal all items in a one-gallon plastic bag with a zipper closure.
We pray for Haiti
God of compassion please watch over the people of Haiti, and weave out of these terrible happenings wonders of goodness and grace. Surround those who have been affected by tragedy with a sense of your present love, and hold them in faith. Though they are lost in grief, may they find you and be comforted. Guide us as a church to find ways of providing assistance that heal wounds and provide hope. Help us to remember that when one of your children suffers we all suffer; through Jesus Christ who was dead, but lives and rules this world with you. Amen.
