2008 Hurricane Recovery Hurricanes Fay, Gustav, and Ike, as well as Tropical Storm Hanna have left a trail of death and destruction across the nations of the Caribbean, throughout Florida and across the Gulf Coast of the United States. One Great Hour of Sharing ® emergency response grants already have been rushed to Church World Service and partners in Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica to support immediate response efforts. For more information go to: Wider Church Ministries, United Church of Christ 700 Prospect Avenue Cleveland OH EXT or 3231

2008 Hurricane Recovery Please give to the 2008 Hurricane Recovery appeal that will enable the UCC to offer even greater support for emergency response and long term relief and rehabilitation. Join the 2008 Hurricane Recovery appeal for $250,000 and one-thousand-one Clean Up Buckets. Visit to act now. Please pray for those who have lost loved ones and homes and now live in uncertainty. Pray for those who are beginning the recovery process and for those who walk with them in relief efforts.

2008 Hurricane Recovery Prayer: God of all Creation, you are our Refuge. We cry out to you in the midst of hurricanes that disrupt and destroy people’s lives and livelihoods. Keep safe our sisters and brothers in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Cuba, and the U.S. on the Gulf Coast from Florida to Texas. Be present with those whose loved ones have died. Quiet the fears and strengthen the survivors who experience on-going uncertainty about the next storm and the despair of loss. Empower us to serve as your hands of hope through gifts of money, time and prayer. Trusting in your steadfast love, O God, we pray. Amen.
