Hurricane Relief Fund
The US Disaster Program at Episcopal Relief and Development has a general hurricane relief fund. Donations to this fund will be used here and in the Caribbean islands.
Has your vestry discussed disaster preparedness? In Texas church building have been compromised by Harvey. Sanctuaries have flooded and clergy homes destroyed. These events are a reminder that people come first and buildings second. As good stewards we must evaluate the structures in which we worship and consider how we might respond to those in need in our communities.
