The recent floods and tornados left devastating damage along the Mississippi and other rivers. We've attempted to contact all of our Emmaus and Chrysalis communities in the stricken areas to see where we can help.

One of the hardest hit areas was Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The Salem United Methodist Church flooded, ruining all of our Chrysalis and Emmaus property stored in the basement. Many neighboring communities have offered to help - but they are in especially in need of banners for their Walks in October.

If you are a Fourth Day group, or Gathering or community that would like to help, please contact Barb Pfeiffer at LWchurchnews@yahoo.com. Barb is coordinating the effort to replace the banners. And please keep all of the communities and people who were affected in your prayers as they continue to return to normal.
