All of us have seen the devastation and horrible loss in the news.
The South Georgia Conference of The United Methodist Church is immediately responding to the weekend tornado outbreak that left a deadly trail in six Midwest states. There are multiple ways you can help.
1. You can give online to the South Georgia UMC Conference. 100% of the donations will be sent to the Tennessee-Kentucky Conference. Click here to give online.
2. You can also give through a donation to St. Paul UMC, earmarked “Tornado relief”. St. Paul will then send the money to the Administrative Services Office.
3. Or you can mail money directly earmarked for Conference Advance Special #6798 to Administrative Services, PO Box 7227, Macon, GA 31209.
4. You may also give to the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) through this link (US Disaster Response and Recovery #901670). UMCOR will be on the ground and will be assisting devastated areas.
Finally, please keep those who experienced loss or trauma from the storms in your prayers. Suffering after a storm is unimaginable, especially during Advent and Christmas.
