Punta Gorda Congregational Church of Christ

A Church of Compassion

Following the devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela, the congregation of Punta Gorda Congregational United Church of Christ came together in a spirit of compassion and Christian service to support those facing tremendous loss and hardship.

The church shared a donation that was presented on July 12, 2026 to assist relief efforts, helping provide essential resources to individuals and families as they begin the long journey of rebuilding their homes, restoring their communities, and regaining stability.

This gift reflects the congregation's commitment to living out Christ's call to love our neighbors and extend hope to those in need—both locally and around the world. Through this donation, the church stands in solidarity with the people of Venezuela, praying for healing, strength, and renewed hope as recovery continues.

This recent message from a recipient in Venezuela reminds us that acts of kindness can reach across borders, bringing encouragement to those rebuilding their lives after disaster.

"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." — Galatians 6:2
