Ascension’s Powerful Partnership

October 4, 2021 |

In August, Hurricane Fred brought torrential rain and flooding to western NC and a few weeks later, Hurricane Ida made landfall in southern Louisiana, plunging New Orleans into darkness and causing catastrophic damage. Ascension, Shelby partnered with our full communion partner, the United Methodist Church, to fill flood buckets that are being distributed in areas recovering from floods through the UMC’s Committee on Relief (UMCOR). With the help of a Thrivent Action grant, we purchased 5-gallon buckets and members filled the buckets with the requested supplies or make financial donations to Lutheran Disaster Response or the TX-LA Gulf Coast Synod Disaster Fund. Between buckets and donations, we contributed nearly

$1,000 to flood relief efforts!
