MONTCLAIR, NJ - September 24, 2001- Just a few miles from Ground
Zero, Rev. David Ireland, senior pastor of Christ Church in Montclair,
New Jersey, watched in horror-as we all did-at the atrocities
happening to America
and to members of his own congregation.
Like so many others, his first thoughts were of ways he could
help. After learning of the children who's parents fell victim
to the World Trade Center attacks, Pastor Ireland came up with
a lasting and practical way to lend support.
In addition to providing prayer, crisis counseling, blood donations,
and food supplies to the rescue workers and victims, Christ Church
has created an educational scholarship fund for the children who
have been directly affected by this tragedy. The World Trade Center
Scholarship (WTCS) will ensure the educational future of hundreds
of New Jersey children-whose lives will forever reverberate with
the memory of losing a parent due to these heinous attacks.
Christ Church is a upwards 5,000-member, multi-racial congregation
serving its region by meeting various social concerns and by presenting
practical, relevant biblical teachings through books, radio, television,
and the Internet.
