Hey Praise Chapel Family,
With Hurricane Milton coming, we know everyone has a lot on their plates. We are praying for your safety and protection. With widespread power outages expected, we also know that it will likely be impossible for many to attend church on Sunday… and that is only if we even have power. This post outlines our plans to try to help our church family and what we are expecting to do if we have power on Sunday.
Prayer & Safety First - We’re praying for you. We’re also praying that God gives us mercy and that this storm spares us. Please be safe. If you need to evacuate, there are multiple locations available in Volusia County. Please see the list of shelters here: volusia.org/hurricanes. Additionally, if you have friends inside the church, it is a great time to connect with them. Invite someone over and have a hurricane/Jesus party. After the storm, let’s try to help those who need help with clean-up. If you have a special need or could use some help, you can reach out to the church and we’ll post it on our ministry/prayer page.
Sunday Service—We will decide on Sunday service based on the storm’s damage and whether the church is operational and has electricity. We will also be looking for a way to bless our church family, pray together, and encourage one another. It probably won’t be a normal worship service. We will provide an update on Saturday and will also send a text message if possible. Because many people might be without power, we do plan to open the church if it has electricity. Additionally, Sarah and I are discussing a way that we could bless our community as well, so we might decide to make some pancakes and offer free coffee. We will let you know these details on Saturday.
If you need special prayer, help with your home, or anything, please reach out by sending a message to our page or responding to the text message you received.
We are praying for you! Be safe! Remember that God is faithful and will see us through.
In Christ,
Matt & Sarah
