If you are like me, you have been praying for those in the Fox Valley affected by the tornado(es). Here is a letter from Peace Lutheran Church in Neenah. Peace has been asked to serve as the primary hub for the LCMS disaster response efforts.

Dear Peace Family,
As many of you know, our community and surrounding areas have been significantly impacted by the recent tornado. While many families are facing damage, loss, and uncertainty, we give thanks that God calls His people to serve their neighbors in times of need.
Peace Lutheran Church has been asked to serve as the primary hub for all LCMS disaster response efforts in our area. Working alongside the LCMS South Wisconsin District Lutheran Early Response Team (LERT), our campus will become a center for volunteer coordination, training, lodging, meals, and support for those assisting with recovery efforts.
We anticipate a significant need for volunteers in the coming days and weeks. Opportunities may include:
Preparing and serving meals for volunteers.
Providing hospitality and hosting support at the church.
Administrative and registration assistance throughout the day.
Housing volunteers in our classroom spaces.
Participating in cleanup and recovery efforts within affected neighborhoods.
Volunteers who wish to assist in cleanup efforts will receive training through LERT. Individuals age 14 and older may be eligible to serve in affected areas following that training.
Peace Lutheran Church will host a full LERT training on Thursday, July 30th from 6:00pm-9:00pm in the Fellowship Hall. This training is required for anyone who would like to assist with cleanup efforts. The training will be led by Rev. Dr. Nathan Meador, President of the South Wisconsin District.
We expect this response effort to continue for a number of weeks, and there will be many ways for people to help. These opportunities are open not only to members of Peace Lutheran Church, but also to members of our sister congregations, as well as friends and family members who would like to serve.
A group of Peace leaders will be meeting this evening to discuss logistics and coordinate next steps. Following that meeting, we will communicate more specific volunteer opportunities, schedules, and instructions for those who would like to get involved.
For now, we ask you to do two things:
Pray for all those who have been affected by the storm.
Begin considering how you, your family, or your friends might be able to serve in the weeks ahead.
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1)
May God grant comfort to those who are hurting, strength to those serving, and hope to our community as we begin the work of recovery together.
In Christ,
Rev. Marshal Frisque
Peace Lutheran Church

Again, inclement weather has come near to us with the storms Monday that affected many in our “neighborhood” of Wisconsin.

My prayers have been for all those affected.

Prayer is such an easy thing to do, but it is also something that we may struggle with, “I don’t know what to pray or how to pray it?”
Jesus gave us what we have come to call “The Lord’s Prayer” and it can be prayed at any time - use it regularly, I do!

Here is a prayer for this specific situation as we consider all those who are enduring hardship after the hail, winds, and tornadoes that hit our area and especially Appleton.

Lord God, heavenly Father, we know of You as our merciful and loving God, as we hear about those affected by the storms of Monday, our hearts are burdened and crying to You to hear us. In this time of loss we lift up all who have been touched by the storms, especially those devasted by the tornado. Embrace them with Your comforting arms, lift them in Your caring hands, and make Your presence to be their refuge.
As many bend their backs and strain their muscles in clean-up, grant strength to the weary, hope to the discouraged, and peace to the fearful. Provide for every need of both body and soul — food, shelter, healing, the comfort of community, and Your strength to meet all their needs. Guide the hands of those offering aid, and fill our hearts with compassion and wisdom.
Grant that Your light shine through the darkness, reminding us that even in the midst of doubt, uncertainty, and devastation, Your love endures.
Peace be with us – in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Prayer is a great gift to us from God, that we can come to Him and be one with Christ (He taught us "Our Father" - we united with Him and all those in Christ as one family). We also ask the Holy Spirit to open our eyes to see how we might be able to support our neighbors with our time, talents, or treasures as opportunities present themselves.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
In Christ, Pastor Jerabek
