Dear Ones, Our very own Timothy Nakayama sent me a prayer he wrote this morning. Tim and his wife Keiko lived and served at St. Andrew's Church, Aomori City in Northeast Japan from 1998 to 2000. I also would like you to know that donations are badly needed by the Red Cross and seem to be the best place to give right now. I have heard nothing from ERD as of yet but here are several organizations in which you could offer help in various ways. For the Red Cross, you can do the following:
- sign in and make your donation directly to the Red Cross. US BANK BRANCHES: donate at any US Bank branch in Washington. Be sure to tell the bank your donation is for Northwest Response.
MAIL A CHECK: made out to the
American Red Cross
Northwest Response
P.O. Box 24525
Seattle, WA 98124
TEXT: donate $10 to the Red Cross International Japan Earthquake/Tsunami Relief Fund through your cell phone. Text message the word REDCROSS to90999
. The donation will be added to your cell phone bill.

Some have asked me about going to Japan to help. I would trust these links above to look at doing that. I will see that this information gets to our diocesan website as well.
And here is Tim's, and our, prayer,
"O God, the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, O God, the Son, our Friend and Brother, and O God the Holy Spirit, who Leads us Into All Truth: Pour into our hearts the abundance of your mercy so that We, Your People, gathered together on this First Sunday in Lent in the Year of Our Lord, 2011, may give from our abundance, to help People in the face of so much destruction, suffering, injury, and death, during the Great Earthquake in Northeast Japan: followed by fires, and tsunamis. We ask this, in the Name of the One who gave His Life that we might live forever: Our Savior, Friend and Brother - Christ Jesus, Our Lord. AMEN."
Blessings,
+Greg
