Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by tornadoes and storms over the Christmas weekend.
UMCOR is in touch with the The Mississippi United Methodist Conference, TN UMC, and Arkansas Conference of The United Methodist Church. Assessments are underway and local response is ongoing. We ask for continued prayers and any donations can be made to the UMCOR U.S. Disaster Response Advance #901670.
As many as nine confirmed tornadoes ripped through Central and North Texas Saturday, Dec. 26 claiming 11 lives and leaving many neighborhoods facing “total devastation.”
The Central Texas Conference Disaster Response team has been tabbed to take the lead in the response and recovery efforts for the Ellis County area. The Rev. Laraine Waughtal, disaster response coordinator, reports Early Response Teams have been working in the area since Sunday afternoon, assessing damage and helping homeowners salvage whatever they can. As in any disaster situation, the initial response phase will be a constantly changing, day-by-day process.
