A Response to the Storms

by Aleta Payne, Former Deputy Executive Director

In the wake of devastating storms that have affected North Carolina and this region, let us keep in our prayers those who have died and the hearts that mourn them, those who have been injured and the hands that care for them, those who have lost homes and belongings and the spirit that will rebuild them. Let us remember the call to love one another every day and that God put the rainbow in the sky to reassure us that there is always hope.

Please contact denominations directly to see how you might be able to help those in need.

 — George Reed, Executive Director
