VIDEO: Redeeming Waters International in Haiti

Today we were joined once again by our friend and mission partner Jocelyn Tarquini of Redeeming Waters International. She shared about her trip in April taking relief supplies to Haiti following the earthquake (which we gathered medical supplies for). Here is the video that she showed in our worship time today:

Thanks again to Jocelyn and her sister for answering the call to help our brothers and sisters in Haiti. And thank you SMMC'ers for all the donations you gathered once again. Please keep our friends in Haiti in prayer, as well as Jocelyn and the ministry of Redeeming Waters International.

We are currently (from June through October) teaching and discussing Jesus' "Sermon on the Mount" on Sunday mornings. Join us for worship at 9:45am, which is followed by a discussion class at 11:15am. Pastor Chris is also blogging on the SOTM here.

What's wrong with this picture (at left), and what might it have to do with the Sermon on the Mount?
