How can I help?

"How can I help?"
It's the first, most human response to a crisis or disaster.
People the world over are asking that very question today.
The United Methodist Church has the people and resources in place to assist anyone in offering support through prayer and giving.
Donations to disaster response through the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) are directed 100% to the targeted disaster situation.
A member of the Communications team in Troy Conference has created a bulletin insert descrbing how to help - the beauty of the document is that you can take it home from church and hand it anyone who may be seeking a way to respond.
With thanks for the prayers and faithful efforts of many, many people.
