Trinity United Methodist Church in Madison, Indiana has experienced a devastating fire to their building.

Many of you have reached out to ask how you can support the church & the broader Madison community.

Right now, you can pray.

If you can't find the words just yet, we offer these:

"God of mercy and presence,

We come with heavy hearts, grieving what has been lost and unsure of what comes next. Be near to this church community, all who have experienced your love in and through its witness.

Bring comfort to those who are hurting, peace to those who are anxious, and strength to those who are weary. Bless all who have responded with care and courage.

Grant wisdom to leaders for the days ahead, and remind us that your church is not just a building, but more importantly, your people.

Out of this loss, bring hope. Out of this moment, bring connection.

We trust that you are with us always.
Amen."
