Recent Tornadoes Have Tragic Effect on Disciples Families

From Week of Compassion:

"WOC continues to respond to numerous requests from local Disciples congregations whose members have been affected by the rash of deadly and damaging tornadoes that have struck scores of communities across the country over the past several weeks – most recently to First CC, Windsor, CO, where a family suffered major damage to their home and farm, and to Lake Harriet CC, Minneapolis, MN, where members lost their young grandson in the tornado that struck near the Twin Cities this weekend. As an expression of the whole church’s concern, WOC has provided solidarity grants to assist these congregations as they respond to their families who must deal with the loss of loved ones, homes and livelihoods following the tornadoes."
