In mid-January 2010 ECBC answered the call of American Baptist Women’s Ministries for hygiene and baby kits for earthquake relief to Haiti. These kits were collected for and delivered to Church World Services (you can go to their site if you wish to become directly involved). The lists of kit components were distributed to all interested parties and on Valentine's Day participating members of ECBC gathered for a “Potluck Packing Party.” In short order, 40 members of the congregation packed 57 hygiene kits and 11 baby kits. The Holy Spirit moved others to continued participation and another box has been filled, bringing our total kit count to near 100. It is wonderful to see what people can accomplish when the Holy Spirit moves them. We do things like this because as Christians we are called by Jesus to help all of God's children around the world. In fact, you can rest assured that wherever people are suffering, Jesus is calling Christians to action. In future endeavors, it is our hope to include interested members of the Exton community in our effort to aid others around the globe. We'd love to have you join us.
