From Grieving church brings comfort in Texas floods | UMNews.org

 

Catastrophic floods over the Fourth of July weekend have killed at least 95 people, including 27 campers and counselors at Camp Mystic. In the predawn of July 4, the remnants of what had been Tropical Storm Barry brought heavy rains with the Guadalupe River rising 26 feet in 45 minutes.

 

The result was a historic disaster in Kerr County and other Hill Country communities outside San Antonio. 

 

For now, United Methodists are focused on what immediate help they can provide.

We join our hearts with a multitude of others gathered around these grieving families and communities in Texas.
