Hurricane Ian - 9/29/2022 update

As morning dawns we see the destruction left from Hurricane Ian and recognize the long road ahead for recovery for our neighbors in Florida.  Due to Hurricane Ian’s shift to the east, we are cautiously optimistic that the Georgia coast will not see the major impact we feared.  We continue to watch as Ian’s path can change again. This hurricane is not over and the Georgia coast is still under tropical storm warnings.  If we determine we have need for a response in Georgia we will provide information about how you can help. What is present before us now is the care needed for our siblings in Florida. 

Please give generously.

Here is a way to give to hurricane relief directly to the Florida – Bahama Synod:

Gracious God, hold all who suffer and grieve this day in your tender compassion and love. Give them strength and protection for today and the days ahead, Lord in your mercy…..

God’s peace,
