Lutherans Respond to Oklahoma Tornado
Teams on the ground assessing damage 

On Monday, a highly destructive tornado ripped through Moore, OK, claiming many lives and leaving behind a devastating trail of destruction. Lutheran Disaster Response affiliates already are assessing the immediate and long-term needs of those affected in Moore and other parts of the nation that have been severely affected by spring storms. Gifts designated to "US Tornadoes" through Lutheran Disaster Response will be used 100% to help survivors of tornadoes rebuild their lives and livelihoods.  

 

Click here to donate online to Lutheran Disaster Response. You may also bring your check to Epiphany on Sunday, noting "US Tornadoes" in the memo section.

 

Please keep the people of Moore and others affected by the strong spring storms in your prayers and donate as you can to support recovery efforts.
