Flooding along the Mississippi

(I wrote a post with this same title a few days ago, but some problems with Blogger resulted in that post's deletion. Not sure what was going on, but I believe it was a system-wide issue. Blogger now appears to be fixed, so I'll re-post the relevant parts of what I had written before.)

Online giving to organizations like the American Red Cross, the United Methodist Committee on Relief, and the Salvation Army makes it easy to contribute to the areas affected by the Mississippi River flood.

If you would like to contribute to the ongoing relief efforts for those affected in the Delta region, please consider these organizations:

-- The website of the American Red Cross

-- The website of the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR)

-- The website of the Salvation Army

With the flood waters still causing displacement of people and destruction of property, the needs will undoubtedly be great for sometime to come. I hope you'll prayerfully consider offering assistance if you are able.
