Hurricane Disaster Relief

The congregation of Church of the Apostles is praying for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Here are some ways we are trying to help tangibly, too—and how you can join in.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the needs are staggering and urgent. But you can help! You may contribute to the Christian relief organizations listed below, using the information provided. Church of the Apostles will also forward donations to selected organizations through our designated gift program (checks payable to COA, and “Hurricane Relief” in the memo line). The Vestry will be looking into a long-term response from the congregation. If you want to contribute directly, use these links, which have online giving options.
