Helping To Meet Immediate Needs

The ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) is a leader in disaster response. Working through our local affiliates and global church partners; we stand ready to respond. Your gifts will help our church meet the immediate needs of those affected by recent natural disasters.

How to Pray

Please pray for people who have been affected by hurricanes. May God’s healing presence give them peace and hope in their time of need.

Hear our cry for mercy in the wake of wind and water.
Reveal your presence in the midst of our suffering.
Help us to trust in your promises of hope and life
so that desperation and grief will not overtake us.
Come quickly to our aid that we may know peace and joy again.
Strengthen us in this time of trial
with assurance of hope we know in the death and resurrection
of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Amen
