Storm Update

Community Need Still Great 

The Horse Creek, Camp Creek, South Side and Ducktown communities are all still in need of assistance. The process of recovery will likely take years in some areas. To volunteer for a work team, contact Steph Burkhart at 895-1296 or by email, or contact the Holston Conference Call Center at 865-309-950 or 865-309-9563.    

The True Meaning of Partnership 

The morning after the storms, Dr. Randy Frye and Rev. Tim Bracken traveled to the Czech Republic to participate in Spring School. When the Czech churches learned that churches and communities in our district had been damaged, they decided to take up offerings to help us. They collected $3,250! This is just one more example of being "In Mission Together".   

UMCOR Grant Received

 We have received a grant from the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) to assist with Disaster Response in our district. This money is designated for assisting families and individuals affected by the storm that DO NOT have insurance. If you are aware of someone in your community that qualifies, please contact the District Office with details.
