Dear Connectional Members and Friends,
The storms and tornadoes in Alabama have caused widespread damage and significant loss of life. In conversations with the Presiding Elders, I have gathered the following information about our churches and members. The CME Church is blessed in that, so far, we are unaware of any death of any of our members. Trinity Church in Pratt City has some damage and a number of church members there have damage to their homes. A member of Porter-St. Paul Church in Northport lost her home. A number of members of Southside CME Church in Birmingham have damage to their homes. A couple of churches in the Mobile District have minor damage. Just about everyone statewide is still without power. Telephone service, even cell phone service, is sporadic. Authorities estimate 3-4 days for power to be restored. We will update you on any additional information we receive.
Please keep the members of our church and all of those who have been impacted by these events in your prayers in the days ahead.
