Our neighbors were sheltering in our Fellowship Hall after being rescued from their flooding homes. Suddenly, just as Red Cross arrived to help them, the water was at our doors – literally. Quick work of church members had sandbags at the doors, but nothing would stop the water from coming in through the foundation. Large pumps loaned by a farmer friend kept the water from drowning the entire sanctuary. However, everything was drenched. Much was saved but a lot simply had to be thrown away. We’ve already incurred a bill of $18,000 to get our sanctuary ready.
Our goal is to raise $50,000. Just one example of the expenses we face, our heating system was flooded with dirty water and now needs cleaned and repaired. We invite our neighbors & friends to JOIN THE ARMY that it will take to bring the Sanctuary back. With your help, Asbury South will be able to continue to serve our neighbors & community through our Community Store, Community Lunch, Friday Morning Breakfast, activities for children, and, of course, Worship. Thank you so much for caring.
