Our congregation at FPC continues to be so grateful to all of you who have called, emailed, or otherwise been in contact with us as we attempt to minister to the needs created by the Bastrop County Complex Wildfire. Your generosity with your gifts and prayers have been a tremendous source of strength and encouragement for us. We are committed to compassionate stewardship of the resources that are being entrusted to us in support of this ministry. Thank you all.

Now we are in long-term relief assistance. In particular, at the request of our church, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance has come to walk with us through this time. We are already grateful for their presence, and are looking forward to their long-term guidance and support.

We know that far beyond the needs of the next few months, we, working with so many others, will have the opportunity to make a difference for good in the lives of thousands of people in Bastrop County. Please continue to lift us up in your prayers, so that we may continue to meet the challenges this disaster brings our way, caring for all who are in need. Trusting in God's word, we are claiming the promise of Jeremiah 29:11: For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare and not for disaster, to give you a future with hope.
