The people of the United Methodist Church partner to support survivors

Representatives from the Baltimore-Washington Annual Conference and the Peninsula-Delaware Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church partnered in January to lead guests from the Northeast Jurisdiction College of Bishops and Committee on Episcopacy in a service project to support hurricane survivors during their Annual Meeting.

These Maryland VOAD members continue to increase awareness of on-going relief efforts for hurricane, tornado, and flooding survivors while news of efforts to support survivors of the California wildfires ramps up.

The group was surprised to learn that 20% of Conferences in their Jurisdiction were actively engaged in some phase of disaster management.

Those outside of impacted areas were encouraged to pray, provide resources, and MAKE A PLAN.
