Flood Relief Update from the MidTexas Annual Conference

On behalf of the Global Methodist Church, Bishop Leah Gregory—who also serves as the Conference Superintendent of the MidTexas Annual Conference—shares this update following the recent flooding:

“MidTexas wants to thank the connection for the outpouring of prayers and support for the people of our conference. We have been humbled by all those around the country who have reached out and given voice and heart to what it means to be a connectional church. Thank you.

In the weeks and months ahead, there will be a need for ongoing recovery work on the ground. We are working to set up those opportunities to serve in ways that are safe for the participants and helpful to recipients. More information on that will be forthcoming in the next week.

If you would like to help today, here are three things you can do:

Pray. Take time every day and throughout every day to pray for those who have lost family, friends, and loved ones. Pray for our families that have lost their homes and businesses. Pray for our farmers who have lost their crops. Pray for our ranchers who have lost their herds. Prayer is our first response—and it makes all the difference.

Assemble Flood Buckets. These kits are useful for floods, fires, and more. We’ll deploy as many as needed and store extras for future response efforts.

Storm Relief Kit & Drop-Off Locations: midtexasgmc.org/midtexas-response

Donate. Select “Disaster Relief” from the drop-down menu when giving. Funds will go directly to the areas most impacted, help complete flood buckets, and support immediate disaster response.
