Help for reaching Families in Haiti

This information is being passed along by our sister Margarette Chery:

RedCrossLogoThe American Red Cross has a website to help people who can’t reach their families in Haiti. The website is www.familylinks.icrc.org

My uncle listens to Haitian radio stations on the internet. He found out from one of them that the town where my Dad lives was not hit as hard by the earthquake, so he should be fine.

They are www.signalfmhaiti.com and www.caraibesfm.com.

 God bless,

 Margarette Chery

Special Service and Contribution for Haiti 1/24

I’m sure you have been following the news reports concerning the earthquake in Haiti. The situation there is dire and much help is needed. The global response has been encouraging with money, volunteers and aid coming in from around the world. Logistics seems to be the biggest obstacle right now with the airport in Port-Au- Prince damaged and the shipping ports out of service. As of right now 11 disciples in the church there have died and many are still missing. (Please go to www.disciplestoday for the latest updates) Many of the church members have lost everything and are huddled together on the church property. Several members of the church here have family in Haiti. Most I have spoken with have not been able to contact them yet. We are praying everyday that encouraging words come soon.

We will be having a special Sunday service next week January 24th dedicated to the situation in Haiti. At that time we will also be taking up a special free will offering for HOPE worldwide as they begin their relief efforts in the country. I hope by the 24th we will have more information about our member’s families and the state of our brothers and sisters in the church there.    Please keep praying for God’s hand to move swiftly in relieving the suffering in that country.

In Love,

Jeff Schachinger

Earthquake in Haiti

You may have heard by now that there was a devastating  earthquake in Haiti Tuesday.  We have members of the church here from Haiti and have family there.  Does anyone know the status of those families? Please let me know of family needs in Haiti by phone at 203-521-2539 or email at js@sctcoc.org PLEASE keep Haiti in your prayers and the families we have there. I checked Disciples Today and there is no information about the status of the church there at this time. I’ll keep you updated. Check disciplestoday.com for current information.

I Have Hidden Your Word In My Heart

Scripture Memory

Scripture Memory

So we’ve kicked off a new class series.  Part of the series involves Memory Scriptures.  If you’re anything like me, I sometimes still get those nightmares where it is test time and I am doomed to fail because I didn’t do my studying!  (shudder).   Scripture memory is different though than preparing for academic tests.  An academic test is simply a preparation for real-world situations where you will need to know your subject material.  The tests where Scripture memory is required occur every single day! 

One fun way I like to test my memory is to get one or more people who are memorizing the same Scripture, and go around to each of us, each saying the next word of the Scripture.  If anyone gets it wrong, you have to start over with a different person in the group.  Once the group can get through the Scripture perfectly 2 or 3 times, you are all probably set.  This is also fun to do with children!

A couple good links are here and here.

What are some things that help you memorize Scripture?  Comment on this post with your thoughts!
