Almost two weeks since Hurricane Florence hit the Carolina coast, the rivers continue to swell flooding homes and businesses.
Let’s come together and pray for those affected by the hurricane and the floods. Let’s pray that in spite of such devastating loss, the people will experience God’s love, grace, provision, and restoration.
