My good friend Garnet is collecting old shoes to donate to Haiti. If you have any shoes you’d like to donate, please bring them to HOC Hacienda Heights (talk to Mike Liu) or the Open Door THIS SUNDAY and she’ll make sure they get to people who need them. If you can, please bring them in a grocery bag and give them a decent cleaning.

Also, remember to keep Haiti and it’s people in your prayers. I know I’m guilty of forgetting, but disasters don’t get better right away!

Bring those shoes and keep praying!

     5 “Is it a fast like this which I choose, a day for a man to humble himself?
         Is it for bowing one’s head like a reed
        And for spreading out sackcloth and ashes as a bed?
        Will you call this a fast, even an acceptable day to the LORD?

     6 “Is this not the fast which I choose,
         To loosen the bonds of wickedness,
        To undo the bands of the yoke,
         And to let the oppressed go free
         And break every yoke?

     7 “Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry
         And bring the homeless poor into the house;
         When you see the naked, to cover him;
         And not to hide yourself from your own flesh?

     8 “Then your light will break out like the dawn,
         And your recovery will speedily spring forth;
         And your righteousness will go before you;
         The glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

Isaiah 58:5-8
