Good evening East MS Family family,

We are reaching out to check on everyone during this time of flooding in our area. Our prayers are with each of you, and our primary concern is your safety and well-being.

Please take a moment to respond and let us know you are safe. If you are in need of assistance, transportation, shelter, or supplies, do not hesitate to contact me or one of the executive staff.

Let us continue to look out for one another and stay connected as a convention family. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)

Be safe, stay alert, and remain in prayer.

— President Ecclesiastes Goodwin
