Dear Friends:  

I know as we have watched the horrific images from the tornadoes, our hearts have broken... and I know that many of you have already begun asking yourself, "what can we do?"

First of all, I want to remind you that the most powerful thing we can do is pray.  This is not simply a cliche of the Christian community, it is us relying upon the amazing power of God to intervene in ways that we cannot even comprehend or imagine.  Your prayers are powerful and effective... lift us these communities and families during this time of need.

Secondly, if you are interested in helping financially with this situation, I suggest you consider giving through UMCOR (The Committee on Relief of the United Methodist Church).  UMCOR is a reputable relief agency that is always among first responders to crisis such as this.  100% of money given goes directly toward relief efforts since all administrative costs are paid through the apportionments of United Methodist Churches.

You can give online, by text, or by giving at our church.  Go to www.UMCOR.org for more information.

Your support is needed. 100% of your donation will go to those affected by devastating tornadoes. You can also make an immediate $10 donation, text the word RESPONSE to 80888.


Yours in Christ,New FUMC Logo
