Responding to Weekend Storms

On Friday afternoon, May 16, severe storms swept through eastern Missouri. Tornadoes were confirmed in St. Louis and the Sikeston area, causing significant damage and loss of life. Injuries and fatalities have been confirmed. In St. Louis, five people were killed and an estimated more than 4,000 buildings sustained damage.

• Please pray for those affected in St. Louis, Sikeston and across the state. Liturgical resources in the wake of storms can be found at Discipleship Ministries.
   
• Please do not self-deploy unless asked. Emergency services, including search-and-rescue operations, are still at work. We are actively in conversation with county and state disaster response efforts and will post updates on the Missouri Conference Disaster Response Facebook page. If you have questions, please contact Conference Disaster Response Coordinator Bambi Wheeler at [email protected].
   
• The best way for you and your church to help right now is by giving financially. Donate online at www.donorbox.org/disaster-response.
