Dear friends,<\/p>\n

Hurricane Irma<\/a>\u00a0is one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the Atlantic. The Category 5 storm hit the Caribbean and is expected to skirt or pass directly over Florida, causing widespread damage and threatening loss of life.<\/p>\n

As a church, we\u2019re standing by our neighbors who are already affected, and we are ready to assist in additional locations as disaster strikes. Lutheran Disaster Response\u2019s affiliates, companion churches, and international partners are collaborating with community leaders and government officials to respond.\u00a0Please give now to support this response<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Hurricane Irma was not the first major hurricane with catastrophic effects this season, and it may not be the last. If you\u2019ve given to support Hurricane Harvey relief, Thank You.\u00a0To give to the hurricane response where funds are needed most, click here and select \u201cHurricane response.\u201d To give directly to relief efforts for Hurricane Irma, click here and select \u201cHurricane Irma.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0Either way,\u00a0your gifts will be used entirely (100 percent) for direct response efforts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Stay connected to the latest events and our response to this and other disasters through our\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0page. Join me in prayer and partnership, and use this\u00a0bulletin insert<\/a>\u00a0in your congregation to help spread the word. Find additional\u00a0resources for worship here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
