Listen to the News/Pray for Sister Churches
When listening to the evening news or reading news online or in the paper, remember your sister churches in the Association. When you hear of a weather-related hardship that a town is facing, log on to GARBC church finder or consult your GARBC directory (call 1-800-727-4440 to order your Directory) to see if a sister church is located in that community. Give that church a call or send them an e-mail to let them know you are praying for them and ready to assist if needed.
