“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” – Psalm 34:18 (NLT)
Hurricane Helene has brought devastating floods to Tennessee, North Carolina, and surrounding areas. Families are grieving, homes are underwater, roads are impassable, and many are still without power in places like Boone, NC, and East Tennessee.
Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone affected. We can pray, but we can also “do.”
