Disaster Assistance for Texas

As you know, there was severe flooding over the July 4th weekend in Kerr County, Texas. Massive rainfall resulted in the Guadalupe River rising 26 feet in 45 minutes. Flash flood warnings did not reach all in the path of the torrent, and at this point 136 people are confirmed dead, including at least 27 campers and counselors from Camp Mystic, a Christian camp for girls. There are still three people who remain missing.

The Coordinating Team of the Presbytery has authorized a $5000.00 contribution to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance on behalf of the flood victims and the recovery effort, and we hope that each of our congregations will prayerfully consider how they might aid in this work as well. Donations can be made through this link:mailto:https://pcusa.org/donate/dr000191-disaster-relief-us-flooding.

Thanks in advance for your partnership in serving others through the love of Christ.

Yours in Christ,

Rev. Ed Rees
