Christian Sympathy to Whit Whitley, upon the death of his mother, Johnette Whitley, on Sept. 2, 2017.

HURRICANE HARVEY HIT THE GULF COAST of the USA on August 25th, threatening millions of people in coastal Texas and Louisiana with multiple days of heavy rain, winds, and rising tides. Significant loss of life and damage to property has taken place, and thousands of people may be housed in shelters for months to come. Lutheran Disaster Response is on the scene, collaborating with local leaders and officials to give help and hope to those affected. Your gifts to assist Lutheran Disaster Response are greatly appreciated - please know that all gifts will be used entirely (100 percent) for this disaster until the response is complete. Checks may be made payable to Kimball Memorial Lutheran Church and designated Hurricane Relief. Thank you for your faithfulness…together, we can help provide immediate and long-lasting support!
