Send Aid to Myanmar via Church World Service: Church World Service has a history of working with partners in Myanmar since 1958. Major US denominational groups, including Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, are channeling their support for relief efforts through CWS since their staff is already in that country, which is coordinating with local partner churches. The death toll has continually been climbing after the devastating cyclone recently hit, but working together, we can reach out to survivors with water, supplies, blankets, and other symbols of our love. Get the word out with these bulletin inserts.
