Dear Church Family, As many of you know, our dear friends, the Grays were displaced due to a home fire on Saturday, March 22nd. No one in their family was significantly hurt and everyone is safe- including their dog and two birds. Their home, however, has pretty significant damage. This is all quite overwhelming and they are basically figuring things out as they go. We love our friends that are like family. Your compassion, kind words, and prayers on their behalf have meant a great deal. God is so good! However, they are staying with the Hornings while they navigate the next steps with insurance and temporary placement with housing till then. As you can imagine, it’s a huge challenge for the Hornings to accommodate and feed nine people during this time. I am reaching out to ask for your help with meals or any financial donations (ways to donate are noted below) that could ease their burden. The most helpful, most direct way to support the Gray family is through financial gifts. These are the best ways to give: Any financial gifts may be left at the Reception Desk in the First Baptist Norfolk office. Venmo- GGray626 and/or PayPal- oilsgal99@gmail.com If you are not comfortable giving directly, a Walmart gift card would also be a great help. Financial contributions are always welcome if you’re in a position to help, but if you are not, I’ve created a meal train to provide meals for both families over the next several weeks. This way, we can ensure we can lighten the burden of this stressful and overwhelming situation. Let’s come together to show our love for the Hornings and Grays, just as they have shown us over the years. Thank you for your support during this challenging time for them as we stand by both families during this difficult period. With love, Christine
