On April 27, in what the National Weather Service called a “tragically
historic day of tornadic activity and severe weather,” hundreds of tornadoes
ripped across the South, killing more than 290 people, demolishing homes
and destroying belongings.
Alabama and Mississippi suffered the most. “There are hardly words to
describe the damage,” said Rev. Glenn Merritt, director of Disaster Response
with LCMS World Relief and Human Care (WR-HC). In Cullman, Ala., St.
Paul’s Lutheran Church and its accompanying school experienced extensive
damage.
As assessment of need continues, the LCMS stands ready to assist, bringing
“mercy and reassurance to our members, districts and congregations,” says
Merritt.
Your gifts provide LCMS WR-HC with the capacity to supply food, drink
and shelter as well as the comfort and consolation of the Gospel. Please join
us in praying for and financially supporting those who have lost so much and
who are in profound need of the comfort of the Gospel.
YOU CAN HELP!
Pray: Please pray for those who have lost loved ones, homes and livelihoods.
Please pray that Lutheran disaster-response efforts bring comfort to those
who so desperately need Christ’s mercy.

efforts to Lutherans in the affected areas.

Easter Sermons
Was it necessary?
Was all that suffering, violence and death really necessary?
YES, and by this action that seems weak to the world, Jesus "cut open the belly of death!"
Listen to Pastor Cook's Easter Sunrise sermon here.
Go quickly
Jesus died and rose again, and His children go quickly to share the good news. With our own eyes we shall see Him again, because He conquered death and the grave for us! Even now, He meets us "on the road," through Word and Sacrament. He is risen indeed!
