Congratulations on Your New Home!
Sue and Kaylan Grigg sent a nice note to the church, thanking all for the prayers, help, and outreach funds offered after their home was destroyed by a falling tree during Hurricane Barry. They are, at last, in their new home!

Sue shares, "Louisiana Disciples know what it is like to lose everything during a storm, and truly demonstrate their love when it happens to someone else."
