Dear Church Family:
First,
I want to say thank you for the outpouring of your love and prayers
for those whose lives have literally been turned upside down.
It
appears like the last person rescued was last Saturday when this immense
landslide occurred.
For days, search teams have concentrated
on rescue operations. Unfortunately, these operations have turned
now to recovery mode. Our missing church member, Steve Hadaway still
has not been found. At this point there are over two dozen known
fatalities and approximately 90 people still unaccounted for.
As
you can imagine when a tragedy of this magnitude hits a small community of
about 1300 people, it is devastating. None the less, the
community is pulling together and trying to do the best they can. Our
pastor and his wife in the Darrington area, Brother and Sister Alexander, are
working hard ministering to people and are so thankful for the
prayer support. Please continue in prayer that our Lord can
give the grace, peace, and strength to help in times like this.
Again,
thank you for your loving concern and prayers.
