Disaster Response Trip
San Angelo, TX; September 11-15
Over the July 4 weekend, devastating floods swept through Central Texas, leaving many families in the San Angelo area facing overwhelming loss. Among those impacted were several members of First Presbyterian Church San Angelo which included their Family Ministries Pastor and loved ones who are now working to rebuild their homes and lives.
As a Grace Family, we have a meaningful opportunity to bring hope and healing to our neighbor. From Thursday, September 11 through Monday, September 15, we are planning to travel to San Angelo to serve these families by providing our hands-on help, heartfelt encouragement and ministry of presence.
First Presbyterian Church San Angelo generously supported Grace and our community following Hurricane Harvey. Now, we have the opportunity to return that love and walk with them during their time of repair and rebuilding. Whether you have construction experience or have simply a willing heart, your presence matters -- and it will make a lasting difference on those who have lost so much.
Will you come with us? For more details or to sign up, please contact Kristy Elmore.
We are all heartbroken by the loss that our friends and neighbors in the Texas Hill Country have suffered. We are praying for those who have lost loved ones or have lost their homes and are hoping for the restoration that only Christ can bring.
When disaster strikes our community, Grace is here for you.
A disaster or crisis prompts many emotions and actions, but it also prompts community. As a church, we stand together in challenging times with those who are impacted and with those who can serve and contribute where needed. If you are able, please reach out to those in your circles of family and friends and check on your neighbors.

Psalm 107:28-30
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven.
