The Haiti Education Alliance (THEA) was asked to speak at the Pitman Road Church of Christ Christmas Tea. The presentation focuses on what is new and upcoming with THEA's work in Haiti. The proceeds for the event will go toward making beds for the 22 children who are currently in cramped quarters- often 3 or 4 children to a twin sized bed. Further proceeds will purchase needed materials for THEA's Gardening Training Program.

And heaven and heaven and nature sing!

26. Joy to the earth! The Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ
while fields and floods, rocks, hills, and
plains
repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding
joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy!

27. No more let sins and sorrows grow,
nor thorns infest the ground.
He comes to make His blessings flow
far as the curse is found, far as the curse is
found,
Far as, far as the curse is found.

28. He rules the world with truth and grace
and makes the nations prove
the glories of His righteousness
and wonders of His love and wonders of His
love
And wonders, wonders of His love!
