Prayers are needed especially for the people in Lake County.  Last night ten structures were destroyed, and this morning they were reporting 175 structures destroyed.  The people of Lake County suffered from one of the most devastating fires in California history last summer.  Now, the community is still working to recover from the 2015 fires as they flee from this fast moving fire.
 
The Community UMC in Lower Lake was destroyed in the fire.  To view the story on KRON, click here.
 
The Rev. David Samelson, Great Northern District Superintendent, visited the affected area today.  The Rev. Linda Caldwell, Conference Superintendent for Mission Collaboration, has been in contact with the United Methodist Committee On Relief (UMCOR) seeking assistance with a grant.
 
For churches wishing to donate through the California-Nevada Conference for immediate relief for the fires, and immediate needs of future disasters, make checks payable to "California-Nevada Annual Conference," and write "CN Disaster Response" in the memo line.  Churches can add their donation in with their tithing form and annotate in the area as "other designated giving." 
 
Mail checks to the California-Nevada Conference Center, P.O. Box 980250, West Sacramento, CA 95798-0250. To donate online, click here. This has allowed the Conference to meet immediate needs until UMCOR grants arrive, and to meet needs not covered with those grants. The California-Nevada Conference has benefited tremendously from UMCOR in response to natural disasters within the bounds of the Conference.
