By now, you are aware of the devastation in Western NC. Many are asking, "How can we help?" Here are some ways to offer aid to storm victims:
GIVE:
One of the quickest ways to help is to donate to Samaritan's Purse which already is working in several locations in affected areas.

Another way we can help is to give financially to help to deliver clean water to those affected by Helene: https://give.watermission.org/p/hurricane-helene-response
VOLUNTEER:
- Click this link to volunteer with an onsite work crew in Western NC - https://spvolunteer.org
- Also, our former worship leader, Carson Brown is now serving at Laurel Springs Baptist Church just outside of Boone. While their facilities came through with no damage, many of their members were directly affected by the storm. Over the next few weeks (and perhaps longer) they could use help for individual families in need of home clean up and restoration. We will be looking to put together some teams to go up to help with their church's efforts. If you would like to find out more and be put on a list of people who receive information about helping there, just reply to this email and we will let you know more as they assess the need.
God is at work in the midst of all this suffering. Please be in prayer for all those affected by the storm and all who are helping out.
