Join us in prayer for all impacted by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the Mindanao region in the southern Philippines today. This was a strong earthquake, causing the deaths of at least 32 people and injuring hundreds. As the death toll continues to rise and as residents assess damage to homes and businesses, we pray especially for those who have lost loved ones and livelihoods.

UMCOR is coordinating with our Disaster Management Office (DMO) staff in the Philippines to provide aid and assistance to those in need. We will provide updates as soon as they are available.

Join us in prayer for those affected by the Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda and South Sudan.

With over 600 cases reported and over 200 suspected deaths so far, this strain of the virus, which has no vaccine, is rapidly spreading across a region already suffering from conflict and lack of healthcare access.

In response, Global Ministries' Global Health Unit is deploying an initial grant of $20,000 to the United Methodist East Congo Health Board to support critical frontline interventions in and around the 10 UMC health facilities in Ituri Province, DRC, including:
-Infection prevention and control, including the distribution of handwashing kits
-Provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) and safe case management training for healthcare workers in the UMC health facilities
-Provision of essential medication to UMC health facilities in the region

What can you do to help?
🛐 Pray for those impacted, especially those who have lost loved ones and the responding medical professionals.

Dear Church Family,
This morning, just before 10:00 am, there was a shooting incident at Leinbach Park, across the street from Mount Tabor UMC. We were notified by law enforcement and immediately went into lockdown as the situation was still unfolding.

Law enforcement from multiple agencies responded and requested to use our parking lot as a staging area. At one point, our building was also considered as a possible reunification site for students and parents from Jefferson Middle School. That need later changed, and we were not ultimately asked to serve in that capacity.

Out of an abundance of caution, we released our preschool children early and canceled Tabor Troupers and After School programming for the day. For a time, traffic was routed through our parking lots, and our staff graciously assisted law enforcement officers, parents, and other visitors as needed. We are deeply grateful for the quick response and faithful care of our preschool staff, children’s ministry staff, and all who helped respond with calm and compassion.
Sadly, we have learned that what began as a reported planned fight resulted in seven individuals, ages 14–19, being shot and sustaining varying levels of injury. Two juveniles have died. We grieve this tragic loss of life and the trauma experienced by so many.

On Tuesday, April 21 from 4-6:00pm the Sanctuary will be open for a time of Prayer and Reflection to show our love and support for our community. Please keep the children, families, schools, and our entire community in your prayers. May God bring healing where there is pain, hope where there is despair, and peace in the midst of sorrow.

In Christ,
Pastor David
