It is with heavy hearts that we continue to witness the devastation caused by the recent hurricanes. Whether through personal accounts, social media, or news reports, we have seen the overwhelming destruction brought by the storm—massive rainfall, intense winds, damaging debris, and widespread flooding across our state and beyond.
This disaster hits close to home, as many in our congregation have loved ones directly affected. As a church, we ask ourselves: “How can we be the hands and feet of Jesus in this time of great need?” There are several very practical ways we can respond and bring healing, connection, and purpose in the midst of this tragedy.
PRAY
Pray for all the communities impacted by this storm.
Pray for families searching for loved ones, grieving losses, and for those who have seen their homes destroyed.
Pray for the first responders risking their lives to bring aid to those in need.
Pray that God would show each of us how we can be a light to those experiencing darkness.
