What you can do
PRAY

Pray with us for those impacted by this disaster at Prayer Meeting,
every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in Miller Hall

Pray, in your family and private worship, for those whose family and friends have died in the storms. For those who are left without homes in which to return. For all who will have to rebuild their lives and their homes and recover from their losses. For God’s wisdom and guidance, as we look for the best ways to serve and to testify of God’s mercy and grace in these difficult times.
