Dear Friends in Christ, I have received a number of emails and calls about our response to the European refugee crisis. I have been in touch with Bishop McAlilly this week seeking how we can be of aid. He contacted Thomas Kemper, Executive Director of the General Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church. Dr. Kemper has been in touch with the European Methodist Council, which is meeting in the next several days. As soon as we hear back from them, we will share information with you as to how together we can assist in this critical need. There have been many of you who have shared with me that you would be willing to assist in sponsoring a family relocation. We will let you know as soon as we have details from the European Council. Please continue to keep these persons and all who are assisting in your prayers. Finally, it was good to welcome new members Bob and Irma Spies, Charlotte Westbrook, Tod, Tati and Hunter Knopp, Diana, Rose and Conner Bartley, Mike Pressley, Mike and Joyce Sundar, Sebastian Peter Theodoro, and Caroline Jane Estes to our Brentwood campus as well as Jason and Natalie Padgett to our Trinity Church campus. Welcome to our church community. The peace of Christ be with you all!
