Owen Sound and area residents can give more than money to help victims of the Haitian Earthquake.
They are being asked to offer up their prayers for those who survived that devastating quake three weeks ago.
Elaine Patton of St. George’s Anglican Church says they will be holding a Prayer vigil tonight to allow the community to pray for the health, safety and recovery of the Haitian people.
She says the idea came after she heard World Vision Canada Executive Director Dave Toyson on the Haitian Relief fundraiser saying the Haitian people were asking the world to pray for them so they would know God had not forgotten them.
Patton says the people of Haiti are a very deeply religious and photos of them praying before the destroyed church’s were very moving and that also helped formulae the idea of a prayer vigil.
She says this vigil is for the entire community and they have invited other ministers and choirs to attend the ceremony Wednesday night.
Patton says its hoped as many people as possible till attend and light a candle for Haiti that night.
She says St. Georges is no stranger to pray vigils and have done similar ones after the death of Princess Diana, the 9/11 attacks and the Montreal Massacre.
Patton says the vigil begins at 7 PM and should last about one hour.
