We are reaching out following the devastating storms and flooding that recently swept through Western Maryland.

Our prayers go out to all who were affected, and we ask that you keep these communities in your prayers.

Almighty God, we ask for your comfort and strength for all those affected by the recent floods. Protect their lives and homes, and heal their broken spirits. We pray for strength for those who are working to rescue and rebuild, and for the courage to face the challenges ahead. May your grace and peace surround us all, and may your hope rise out of this tragedy. Amen.
