to the Crisis in Haiti -- Sunday, January 17, 2010 -- 10:00 AM Service

Community leaders will gather at First AME Church of Los Angeles to ask God’s blessings for the families that have been affected by the earthquake in Haiti, and to pray for strength for the thousands of relief workers who have been called upon to serve.
