| As Hurricane Harvey continues through the US Gulf Coast, Episcopalians are asking how to respond. Episcopal Relief & Development is working closely with our partners in the region to reach the most vulnerable.
We have created this bulletin insert so that you can share information and an opportunity for compassionate response with members of your congregation.
For the most up-to-date information about Episcopal Relief & Development’s response to the hurricane, please visit our Response to Hurricane Harvey web statement page.
Check out the latest blog from Rob Radtke as he explains the three R’s of a disaster and how you can best help during this time.
The Presiding Bishop has also recorded a message regarding Hurricane Harvey.
Please continue to pray for all those impacted by the hurricane, for first responders who are conducting rescue operations and for church communities who are reaching out to care for their most vulnerable members and neighbors.
For those wishing to volunteer for Hurricane Harvey recovery efforts, please direct them to our Ready to Serve database.
Contributions to the Hurricane Harvey Response Fund will help Episcopal Relief & Development support Church and other local partners as they provide critical emergency assistance to those most in need.
We ask that you distribute this information to all of your Network Representatives, Seminaries, and Diocesan connections.
Throughout the response to Hurricane Harvey, we are here to help you. Please let us know if we can be of assistance. |
