𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔 for the love and support you have extended to the Hoefer family. We’ve had a front-row seat to the incredible generosity and kindness of our community, and we are deeply grateful.

We’re thankful to share that two members of the family have been released from the hospital. All but one have had their breathing tubes removed, and there have been many successful surgeries and procedures as the healing process begins.

There is still a long road of recovery ahead. Those who were most seriously injured may remain hospitalized for an estimated 1–2 months, with additional surgeries and procedures still to come. Please continue to pray for strength and endurance for the Hoefer family through the coming weeks and months of healing and transition.

𝐀 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬: To provide the best environment for healing and rest, the Hoefer family is asking that all visits be coordinated with the family in advance. If you would like to arrange a visit, please reach out to the church office for contact information.

Ep. 81 "Ask Scott" Podcast | Questions About Blessings and Curses

Pastor Scott answers questions about his message "Blessings and Curses in Moving Faithfully Forward." Questions include: Are the curses we read about in Deuteronomy like Harry Potter curses? • How were people saved in the Old Testament? • Could OT believers be certain of their salvation? • Did OT believers believe in Christ and the cross? • Was it the human Christ or the divine Christ who became a curse for us? • Does “counted righteous” mean that God pretends that believers are righteous? • David says that he loves God’s law (Psalm 119). How can that be when we can’t fulfill it and that means curses? • What does it mean that “the just will live by faith”? • To whom was the price paid for our redemption?

As we pray for the Hoefers and grieve with them, your family may be having hard conversations processing this tragedy. Pastor Scott has written a short message to our church family to help us think through a Christian response to tragedy.

August 27, 2026 / by Pastor Scott Boerckel The sad act of Adam and Eve’s rebellion in the Garden of Eden unleashed horror upon the world—all the death, all the sickness, all the disasters, all the relational brokenness, all the personal anxieties that have existed are because of this single act....

The Hoefer family, members of East White Oak, experienced a devastating house fire and 8 family members are hospitalized with severe burns and smoke inhalation. East White Oak is working with the family to help meet immediate needs. We have experienced an outpouring of support from our church and local community. If you desire to get involved, we would encourage you to consider these three things:

➡ PLEASE PRAY. Pray for healing and strength for each family member, wisdom for their doctors and caregivers, and comfort and endurance for the entire family.

➡ Our church will be providing for needs through our benevolence fund. You are welcome to contribute to this fund through our online giving platform. Select “Benevolence” to direct your gift to this fund. https://eastwhiteoak.church/give/

➡ The family has set up a Go Fund Me account where you can contribute to their ongoing expenses. https://www.gofundme.com/f/john-and-gretchen-hoefer?utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_id=97757_v0_s00_e0_tv2_a1demoo0jwrq5c&fbclid=IwY2xjawT9IHFwZG9mAWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAGJyaWQRMU1uWWxEalIzeGEwUFZzdWlzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEe5Rp0nQRKro4Hix4rVnGbnSK7OD5vnlXNNsk20-9vdkWWGbwHpjSiAD-JjEQ_aem_cjtkqa9meK-4-mETG6lfWQ&cp_src=d

The road to recovery will be long, and the challenges will be many, but we have the privilege of surrounding the Hoefers with love, care, generosity, and prayers. Thank you for caring for this family.
