SNEUCC Haiti Task Force Presentation on Sunday, March 16, 2025

Members of the SNEUCC Haiti Task Force will offer a presentation on their long-time work bringing vital service to schools, orphanages, and health clinics in Haiti during our coffee hour on Sunday, March 16. (This is the presentation postponed from February 9 due to a snowstorm.) Rev. Soukup’s message during the service will reflect on the Haiti’s legacy as the first Black republic in the world following the revolution by the enslaved in the French colony. After the service, Suzanne Swanson, Shirley Hardison, and Linda Sable will give an update on the Task Force’s current initiatives, especially in light of the heightened violence in the country. The Task Force has been “providing education, quality health care, orphan relief, spiritual support, and community-based services for the people of Haiti for over 30 years,” as a sponsored mission in the Historic Rhode Island Conference and now the SNEUCC. Please join us for the worship service at 10:00 a.m. and the presentation at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 16.
