Hannah Buchanan, a pastor at Highland Park United Methodist Church in Dallas, writes about grief and serving in a community that has been “shaken to its core” by deadly flooding.
Seven new United Methodist pastors were recently commissioned at a consecration ceremony in Doha, Qatar. These men and women answered a call to serve the spiritual needs of the Filipinos living and working in the Middle East.
As the floodwaters rose, Kerrville First United Methodist Church quickly opened as a shelter. Since then, the church has provided respite for families waiting to hear about loved ones.
