Sunday, September 8th

Dear Friends, we will gather as normal for worship and Sunday School this Sunday. Thankfully, there appears to be no significant impact upon our buildings. Please exercise caution travelling to worship.

Remember: Breakfast this Sunday was cancelled (our wonderful cooks shop at the end of the week – and it was by no means certain our refrigerators would be on through the whole storm). We look forward to Second Sunday Breakfast in October!

Hurricane Response

We are thankful for a bright sunny day today, but we are also aware that for many this is a very difficult day.

In the coming days we will be looking at storm needs in our community and will send out volunteer opportunities.

If you, your family, or your neighbors have needs following the storm, please let us know – and we will see how we can respond.

If you are able, consider giving to relief organizations responding to the heartbreaking devastation there.

Please keep our sisters and brothers in the Bahamas in your prayers. While we are thankful to have been spared widespread damage this week, the impact of the storm upon the Northern Bahamas is almost unprecedented.
