HURRICANE RELIEF
October 23, 2018 - Updated
Greetings to you all in the name of Christ Jesus our Lord.
Thank you all for the tremendous outpouring of support you have shown since we have begun our response efforts. We continue to partner with Christ Church Pensacola in order to provide assistance and relief to our sister parish, Holy Nativity in Panama City. To date, we at St. James have sent two teams to Holy Nativity in order to assist with cleanup and debris removal, as well as delivering supplies, requested items and money. At this current moment supplies such as food and water are no longer thought to be necessary, as it is believed the parish of Holy Nativity is moving from a time of relief into a stage of recovery. This does not mean that the people no longer need our help, but rather that we are currently on hold with sending volunteers back into the stricken areas while further needs assessments can be completed. It also means that financial assistance is still very much needed.
I ask for you to continue with me in offering prayers for those who have been affected.
We continue to accept financial assistance online through our website; CLICK HERE and follow the online prompts. You may also bring your donation to the church office, or include an offering in any of the collections on Sunday or Wednesday worship services. Please make sure to mark your check or cash (envelope) with “Hurricane Michael Relief.”
We will continue our relationship of assistance with Holy Nativity over the next many months
May you always know your blessings.
In Christ's Joy and Love,
De✝
