During the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, it has been encouraging to see our church body care for one another and the Anderson community. Keep this up! As several members of our church encounter ongoing recovery needs, if you would like to contribute financially to the mercy fund managed by the deacons of our church, you can do so through the NCC app or at https://www.ncchurch.net/giving. The deacons will use these funds to assist needs of church members.
Further, if you would like to contribute broadly to hurricane relief efforts, consider giving or volunteering with Mission to North America (MNA), the domestic missions agency of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). They have coordinated efforts to bring resources and help to people in need. You can connect with MNA here: https://pcamna.org/hurricane-helene/
Lastly, one of our deacons, Austin Webb, has a team that has been serving up in Western North Carolina this week and has coordinated with a drop-off point for supplies in the region they are helping. Tim Cutliff and Joshua Williams plan to collect resources from our community and transport them up there tomorrow afternoon (Sunday, October 6). If you would like to contribute resources to assist with these local needs, you can bring them to the church today during the day, or drop them off at the concert tonight, or connect directly with Tim or Joshua.
Resources to consider donating:
Water
Non-perishable foods
Hygiene products
Diapers and wipes
Formula
Contractor bags
Gloves
Other supplies that are helpful to a community with limited communications
Continue to pray that God’s glory would be seen in all the world, that his church would be built up, and that his mercy would fall upon those in need. Pray Psalm 121:1–2, “I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.”
