Join us for worship for the September Series: Elijah: The Troubler of Israel. Elijah was a prophet, calling the people to repentance when they strayed from God. Through this sermon series, we will journey with Elijah through many trials and miracles. God cares for Elijah at every turn, and we, too, may experience God in new and future-giving ways. We, too, may learn anew about the inescapable wonder of God's grace that finds us, feeds us, and uses us for God's glory. | | |

UMCOR Disaster Response
UMCOR responds to natural or civil disasters of such magnitude that they overwhelm a community’s ability to recover on its own. Through UMCOR, United Methodists extend loving care to people within the United States. When disaster strikes, it is local churches that provide the first response to their communities. This basic understanding—that disaster response is local—forms the foundation for UMCOR’s US disaster training and response. When responding to a disaster in the United States, UMCOR provides training, financial assistance, expertise, community collaboration to churches and partners making them more resilient to disasters.
