Rev. Catie Newman asks us to pray for the communities affected by the devastating flooding in Texas, as they are still in the emergency stages of a disaster. In time, we will have the opportunity to help and collect needed items. For now, financial help is the best.
Bishop Harvey and the Rio Texas Conference Disaster Response Team encourage churches and individuals to contribute to our Rio Texas Conference Disaster Response Advance #2050, noting “Guadalupe River Flood” on your gift.
How to give
If you are taking an offering, please send the collected gifts to the Rio Texas Conference office, designated for Advance #2050 — Guadalupe River Flood. Churches and individuals, please mail your checks directly to the Rio Texas Conference, 16400 Huebner Rd., San Antonio, TX 78248. You can also support UMCOR US Disaster Response and Recovery by visiting their donation page.
Pray
Mighty God,
We are heartsick and speechless as we hear the news from Texas and the impact of devastating flooding. Surround all who are affected with your mighty power, peace, and presence. Be with those who are responding, searching, and caring. Shower your love on those who have experienced loss. Lord, hear the groaning of our hearts.
Lord, in your mercy…
