  "Helene made landfall in Florida late evening on September 26th as a very dangerous category 4 hurricane. The impact of Helene has been felt across multiple states. With the storm surge, wind damage, and flooding, it is crucial to have the necessary resources to support the many communities that are affected. Helene caused devastating damage in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee.  Your generous gifts will bring hope and encouragement. PDA is in communication with affected presbyteries and National VOAD (Voluntary Organizations Active In Disaster) to share information and coordinate resources as damage is assessed. PDA has deployed a National Response Team to Tampa Bay Presbytery, Presbytery of Western North Carolina and Northeast Georgia Presbytery. We have approved several initial assistance grant requests and are anticipating additional requests from affected presbyteries to help respond to needs in their communities." - From Presbyterian Disa...

SEPTEMBER UPDATE 2 Corinthians 5:7 " For we walk by faith,  and not by sight." Serving One Roof and Angels House We have just wrapped up an amazing month in August highlighting our Global Missions!! We packed over 14,000 meals for families globally through Rise Against Hunger; learned more about future missions with Pura Vida in Guatemala; and celebrated over 30 years working with our sister church In Merida Mexico.  Your involvement and excitement during these events displays the missionary heart of our congregation not only locally but globally.   September is here. School is back in session and the holiday season is nearly upon us!  What a wonderful time to support two of our organizations that help families and children.   One Roof, like Bridging the Gap, is desperately in need of food for those in need so we are looking for monetary donations to help them with this purchasing power to make that possible.   Angel's House, a safe have...

For the communities receiving these meals, they rep...
