FBC Haiti Relief Project

FBC Lake Butler will be participating in Buckets of Hope ministry offered thru the Fl. Baptist Convention.

Convention Announcement:
Buckets of Hope Offer Opportunity for Every Florida Baptist

(If you want to contribute a “Bucket of Hope,” you may bring it to our association center for distribution.)
Every Baptist can have a hands-on, life changing affect upon the people of Haiti by participating in a Southern Baptists “Buckets of Hope” ministry.
The “Bucket of Hope” consists of a plastic five-gallon bucket packed with selected foodstuffs. For approximately $30 an individual Baptist can purchase the materials and assemble a “Bucket of Hope.” In addition, Baptists are requested to include a $10 cash contribution, placed in an envelope and attached to the lid of the bucket, to offset the cost of transporting the relief buckets to Haiti.
Project deadline: By March 15, 2010, the “Buckets of Hope” must be completed and delivered to your local Baptist association collection point. Florida disaster relief volunteers will facilitate the pick-up and transport of the local “Buckets of Hope” to Hialeah, Florida, for placement in cargo containers for immediate shipment to the island nation. After delivery to a Hialeah warehouse, before loading in cargo containers, all the buckets will be labeled indicating the “Bucket of Hope” is a gift of Christian love and support from Southern Baptists.

If there is anyone who is interested in leading our efforts toward the March 15, deadline please contact me, as soon as possible, so we can begin to inform our congregation.

I want to thank our congregation for the $2,788.00 that was given last weekend and encourage you to continue to participate thru various ministries offered thru our church and convention.
