Disaster Recovery Response
Tropical Storm Imelda Response
Ways to Help
1. PRAY. We know the power of prayer. We know that prayers sustained us when we were too tired, scared, overwhelmed, angry and everything in between.
​
2. If you would like to write letters of encouragement, prayers, etc. I have names of churches that have been hit. You may remember the comforting words that came in from across the nation in the weeks following Harvey.
​
3. Donate to UMCOR Hurricane Relief. You may give cash or check (made out to the church with memo line UMCOR) and we will send it on.
