Disaster in West, Texas

“The Lord is close to those who are brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18).

We are deeply saddened by the tragedies in Boston and in West, TX this week. Here are three great ways to respond:
1.       Pray. Click here for our Prayer Guide in Response to Disasters.
2.       Give. Give funds to the Red Cross and the Texas Baptist Men, who are among the first to        respond to any disaster. Give blood at your nearest blood bank (click here for info on a drive today in Coppell).
3.       Serve. Effective relief comes from trained volunteers. Make plans now to attend the Texas Baptist Men’s Yellow Hat Trainings on April 26th in Rockwall or April 27th in McKinney. They will be sending trained volunteers over the next several weeks.
