On Wednesday the skies turned violent with deadly tornadoes and thunderstorms, devastating dozens of cities in the South. The storms with 200 mph winds swept homes off their foundations. To see the scenes of destruction would moved anyone to tears. I appeal to all members of the Newark Presbytery to support relief efforts already underway.

Please send contributions designated "Spring Storms" to the Presbytery Center. Make checks payable to Newark Presbytery or send contributions directly to the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. Make checks payable to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance designated in memo use code DR000015, Presbyterian Church USA, PO Box 643700, Pittsburg, PA 15264-3700. Brothers and Sisters. Please continue prayer for all the victims of this disaster. May God grant them shelter and comfort. Grant them endurance, strength and faith to rebuild.

May God Bless all the efforts of our presbytery as we provide relief to all the victims of this disaster.

Jim Hill, Moderator
Newark Presbytery.
