Mountain Sky Conference Disaster Response Fund - 2021
As a connectional church, we also embody a very basic understanding: we are one body, and when one member of the body suffers, we all suffer. We are called to relieve suffering and care for one another so the entire body can be whole. We in the Mountain Sky Conference are responding to the Boulder County fire in several ways.
- Our conference’s disaster relief donation page is ready to accept your generosity. Be sure to designate this donation is for “Marshall Fire relief”.
- The United Methodist Church of Johnstown needs to replenish “fire buckets”. Typically, a hub for these revolutionary tools, the entire supply was exhausted last year due to the Denton, Montana fires. Please consider donations to rebuild the inventory by visiting the site here: https://johnstown.church/disaster-response
