Hill Country Flooding

Response to the Hill Country Flooding

Almighty God, your Holy Spirit moved over the waters in the beginning of creation, and your Son Jesus walked on the Sea of Galilee:  Be mightily present with all those impacted by catastrophic flooding in the Hill Country.  Be close to the lost that they may be found;  Guide and protect those who search;  Strengthen those who await news of loved ones;  Comfort those who mourn;   Provide for those who have lost homes and livelihoods.  And in the midst of things we cannot understand, empower us to entrust all to your never-failing love, and give us the will to persevere in our response to their needs.  All this we ask through your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Join us as we pray "big prayers" for the missing, for their families and friends, for first responders and rescue workers, and for St. Peter’s Church and the Hill Country camping community after the devastating flash flooding that took place over the July Fourth weekend. 

We know our St. Helena's community is eager to help those in the surrounding areas. Right now, the best way to offer help is to donate money, as you are able, directed through the Diocese of West Texas, which is forwarding funds to St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Kerrville, and through the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, which has set up the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund to support vetted organizations that are directly involved with rescue, relief, and rebuilding efforts (see links below).

When we hear of other ways to offer assistance through St. Peter's and the Diocese of West Texas, we will certainly let you all know.
