Beginning this week, in order to help provide assistance to victims of the recent massive flooding in central Texas, we are partnering with Crystal Lake Baptist Church in Leander, Texas. This is the church where our former lead pastor, Larry Sheahan, is currently pastoring. Leander is only about two hours from Kerrville, where the flood damage was extensive and where 135 people lost their lives. However, Sandy Creek, a small impoverished community, just 5 miles from Leander, also suffered major damage that same weekend, even losing a main bridge that prohibited people from being able to return to their homes, recover items and assess damage.
Many short-term and long-term needs for housing, repair and rebuilding are underway but it will take months for this area to recover. Please consider giving a financial gift to this special offering for the Sandy Creek flood victims via the link below. From there, just click on the give now box and choose "flood relief" from the dropdown menu. All funds will go directly to helping meet the needs of those in Sandy Creek affected by the flood.
