Lexington church to help quake victims

From Kentucky-

A Lexington church is planning to help earthquake victims in New Zealand.

Christ Church Cathedral, located on Market Street in Lexington, has a special connection to the New Zealand town of Christchurch, which was hit hardest in the quake. Not only do they share a name with the town, but their sister church there is also named Christ Church Cathedral.

Right now members say they're waiting to hear from their friends in New Zealand to see what they need most.

"We are working with the National Episcopal Church, the Episcopal Relief and Development Fund that will be assisting Christchurch in rebuilding, and assisting in getting medical help to the people of Christchurch," said LaRae Rutenbar, interim dean of Christ Church Cathedral.

The church has experience in helping with earthquake relief. They also have a sister church in Haiti that they helped in the aftermath of last year's devastating quake there.
