Our hearts and prayers are with the people of Indiana during this difficult time. We pray for every family impacted, for those who have experienced loss, and for the first responders, emergency personnel, volunteers, and community leaders working tirelessly to help.

May God provide comfort to those who are hurting, strength to those facing uncertainty, and protection to every community affected.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1
