Over the past two months, more than 230 volunteers came together to help families recover and repair their homes through Faith in Action. Thanks to your time, prayers, and generosity, we were able to serve 21 family homes and complete work at 17 of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your commitment also extended beyond the worksites, with over $5,000 in gifts received through the NC Storm Fund<\/a>, providing resources for materials and ongoing recovery efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are deeply grateful for the connectional spirit that makes this ministry possible. Every volunteer, person who gave money, and church played a part in bringing hope to families across Columbus County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A special recognition goes to the Harbor District for leading in volunteer participation and to the Capital District for contributing the most in donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, you have shown what it means to be the church in action, showing how to Love Boldly, Serve Joyfully, and Lead Courageously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for helping families recover and for being part of this ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
