This year marks the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the U.S. Gulf Coast in August of 2005. Over the past two decades, UM News has visited with those affected by the storm and reported on rebuilding and relief efforts. This year, a team from UM News returned to some of the hard-hit areas to talk with church leaders and members who recall the devastation and the power of the United Methodist connection. Through photos, videos, interviews and podcasts, see how the people of The United Methodist Church have brought and sustained hope out of an unthinkable tragedy. We will highlight the resilience of individuals and congregations, the work of the United Methodist Committee on Relief and countless volunteers, and all those who chose to dig in and bring light and healing. Join us as we find Hope Beyond the Storm.
