Flooded Church Buildlings

We are asking our churches to communicate to us the expenses incurred because of the storms and flooding that will not be reimbursed through insurance or other sources. Then we will respond in greater measure to help share the burden

  • Clover Hill
  • Griggstown
  • Harlingen
  • Hillsborough
  • South Branch
  • Willow Grove
We sent $1,000 from the Classis to each affected congregation as a token of our affection and care, and to help immediately with repairs and ministry.

Still determining the total cost

We are asking our churches to communicate to us the expenses incurred because of the storms and flooding that will not be reimbursed through insurance or other sources. Then we will respond in greater measure to help share the burden.

Prayers and Offerings

We ask you to pray for those churches still facing with repairs and costs, and to consider taking an offering in your congregation for the needs of churches in the classis that were damaged by floods. (Offerings can be sent to the classis treasurer). An initial offering for this purpose was taken at the Classis meeting on October 11.
