Hurricane Florence, now a tropical depression, wreaked havoc across much of North and South Carolina, producing flash flooding and river flooding. In the immediate aftermath of a storm, people get restless and want to do "anything to help." Because this is still an active event and need assessments will be happening for quite some time, the best way to help today is to give financially so that those funds can be put to work in the immediate phases of recovery. Recovery takes a long time and Lutherans are known for being in it for the long haul. There will be many ways to help in the weeks and months to come.
To learn how you can help today and to stay current with the needs of our sisters and brothers in the North Carolina and South Carolina synods, you can visit these pages: the North Carolina Synod, the South Carolina Synod, and Lutheran Disaster Response. Please remember all those impacted and first responders in your prayers.
This year we welcome the Rev. Michael L. Burk, Bishop, Southeastern Iowa Synod, as our Keynote Speaker. Rooted in the gathering of God’s people around the means of grace, we will explore what it means to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ in a persistently changing landscape.
