I want to say, "Thank You!" to everyone who contributed to the Trinity Presbytery Disaster Assistance Relief Fund. 

To date, we have received $40,000 dollars to help with the long-term recovery efforts to "the least of these", that is, those most vulnerable among us who will not be able to fully recover from the recent devastating flood in South Carolina without the help of the faith community.
