| Wear your PDA T-shirt to church February 17 | | |
by Pamela Burdine
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance
LOUISVILLE -- We are thankful for the tens of thousands of volunteers who have offered themselves in service helping to clean, repair and rebuild homes of families affected by numerous disasters throughout the United States.
While it has been three months since Hurricane Sandy struck New Jersey and New York; thousands of families are still homeless and the recovery - like Hurricane Katrina - will take years. As with Hurricane Katrina, many families will need the faithful witness and service of volunteers to help rebuild their homes.
Therefore, as an act of solidarity with families affected by Hurricane Sandy and other disasters throughout the United States, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is asking that you designate February 17, 2013 - the first Sunday in Lent (and beginning of the One Great Hour of Sharing offering promotion) - as "wear your blue PDA T-shirt Sunday". We know there are thousands of you who have 'earned' a PDA T-shirt through your faithful service of ministering to survivors of other disasters.
