Please join us in prayer for the people of Colombia who were impacted by a 7.4 magnitude earthquake this morning, the strongest to strike the country in the last decade. At least 281 people have died, and thousands more are injured, missing, or have been displaced from their homes. As first responders and search and rescue teams uncover the devastating toll of this disaster, we pray for them and their efforts, and we mourn with those who have lost loved ones.

UMCOR stands ready to respond through support to our humanitarian and ecumenical partners in Colombia and across Latin America. We will share response updates on social media as they become available.

As wildfires continue to burn throughout Washington state, UMCOR is supporting the The Pacific Northwest Conference of The United Methodist Church in their efforts to provide immediate relief to those in need through a solidarity grant. UMCOR is in communication with the conference as they continue to assess needs and coordinate with partners.

Continue in prayer for those who lost everything when their homes burned. Pray for first responders as they work to contain the fires and assist those in need. Pray for safety during evacuations.

Pray also for first responders working to contain the fires and helping those in need of assistance. As Gov.

Our choir gathered at Rev. Carol’s home last evening before heading into our summer break. We missed a few members and our wonderful accompanists, but the food was delicious, and the marionberry ice cream for dessert was amazing!

A special thank you to Carol for directing and shepherding us throughout the year. We are grateful for her leadership and care. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in September and praising our Lord God together again! 🎶😊
