Hurricane Helene Response

Message from Bishop Wright

Beloved,

The Bishop’s Staff is hard at work assessing the impact of Hurricane Helene on our people and buildings. Below is a resource hub to assist our congregations and ministries.

We pray for all Americans and Georgians who have been impacted by the storm. And, we give God thanks for all who are extending a hand of care to those in need. Guide us and protect God in the midst of this storm.

 

Amados,

El personal del Obispo está trabajando duro para evaluar el impacto del huracán Helene en nuestra gente y edificios. A continuación, se muestra un centro de recursos para ayudar a nuestras congregaciones y ministerios.

Rezamos por todos los estadounidenses y georgianos que han sido afectados por la tormenta. Y, damos gracias a Dios por todos los que están extendiendo una mano de ayuda a los necesitados. Guíanos y protégenos Dios en medio de esta tormenta.
