Flood Cleanup and the Beginning of Rebuilding

September 7 – October 24, 2021 · Milestone 11 of 39

Hurricane Ida brought severe flooding that damaged the entire first floor of our church building. During this period, we undertook the difficult work of cleaning up, removing damaged materials, and discarding items that could no longer be saved. These weeks marked the beginning of a restoration project that would take a couple of years to complete. Even in this hardship, we gave thanks to God for everything and drew strength from the love and dedication of those who helped us rebuild.

So they said, “Let us rise up and build.” Then they set their hands to this good work.

Nehemiah 2:18
