The devastation left behind in the Gulf Coast region in the wake of Hurricane Katrina has created a immense need for physical, emotional and spiritual relief.  In times such as this, we ask ourselves, "What can I do to help?"

Here are some ways we can help:

Pray

• for God's provision for physical needs such as food, water, clothing, shelter, relief funds and other supplies

• that the Gospel will be preached and hope will reign over despair

• for strength for relief workers

• for the rebuilding of lives in the Gulf region

• for Mike Sprague and Trinity Church
