Pastor's Response

A Response to the earthquake in Turkey and Syria by Rev. Sheri Nelson

While the Earth does what the Earth does, human life can be impacted within seconds. Sometimes we are lucky enough to get a warning, such as with tornadoes, hurricanes, and even tsunamis. However, technology has not progressed enough to predict far in advance for evacuations when it comes to earthquakes.

Let us pause and hold those affected by not one, but two earthquakes in Turkey that have taken the lives of no less than 1500 children, mothers, fathers, and friends.Let us hold the grief of those who have lost their loved ones, find themselves without a home, and are living with the fear that comes with every aftershock. As people of faith, let us offer peace and support for our siblings in crisis. Amen.
