The Columbus area, Seymour area, Spencer, Franklin, and Martinsville have reported severe damage and property loss.  We know there are others and we are anxious to know what is/will be needed.

Members of the Indiana District are already responding to the needs of our members in the central and southern areas of our state.  After visiting with a number of our members yesterday in Columbus and seeing how much they have lost in the way of personal belongings and the restoration that will be needed to their homes, I encourage all of our congregations to help these members by providing some financial support and assistance. 

We are still obtaining information from other congregations in the area and we know many families have had considerable loss.

Financial contributions for the support of those affected by these flood waters can be directed as follows:

Make checks payable to:  Indiana District LCMS

Mail to:
Indiana District LCMS
Disaster Relief Account / Indiana Flood Relief
1145 South Barr Street
Fort Wayne, IN 46802

  Pastor John Armstrong of Grace, Columbus has offered to help us with coordinating our efforts in the Columbus area.
   
  RELIEF WORKERS will be needed as we develop a list of people with the greatest damage.  We will develop a work schedule with the pastors in the various areas.  Those who have worked with the KATRINA RELIEF can be of special help because of their experience with “mudding” and “gutting”.
   
  LCMS Human Care will be visiting the area this week.


TO THOSE IN THE AFFECTED AREAS:  PLEASE CALL THE DISTRICT OFFICE AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE.  WE HAVE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME CALLING CHURCHES AND PASTORS BECAUSE EVERYONE IS BUSY. 800-837-1145
 

TO OUR KNOWLEDGE – NONE OF OUR SCHOOLS OR CHURCHES HAVE SUFFERED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE, BUT A LOT OF CHURCH WORKERS AND CONGREGATIONAL MEMBERS ARE IN NEED OF HELP – AT THIS WRITING IT SEEMS THAT THIS NUMBER WILL BE IN THE HUNDREDS.
