Milton Aftermath at Grace (Photos)
We have wrestled with Milton. Let us stay together.
We contended with this storm, but we got through another one.
Please communicate with those at church to check on each other.
So here is what is in this post.
How are things at Grace Lutheran PSL
How are people doing in our Church
How to help those on the west coast
How are things at Grace?
Things are good at Grace. We had the shutters up on the original building.
The church has power (I have never seen the church without power, as Grace is on the same lines that support the emergency room in SLW).
We do have some small things.
General debris on the campus
4 of our decorative trees our down.
We have need for our trees to be uprighted and re-supported
Alzheimer’s patients return tomorrow morning.
Thanks to Maryann and Gary for Cleaning the grounds!
How are our friends doing in our church?
I (Pastor Cris and Coli) do not currently have power 10/10/24 4pm
Everything else is normal.Thursday was a scary day for us in St Lucie County. I don’t know what the final number was, but we had somehting like 20 tornandoes in the area.
I have talked and texted with a good amount of poeple.
Most are fine, some have power and others don’t.
I have talked with a few where the tornadoes did not hit them but homes in their direct neighborhoods where hit.
I know of
Frank and Trisha, Martin Co.
Megan and Tom, Rosser Blvd.
Kevin, Lakewood Park.
I know of more but these seemed to be the closest.
The first phone call I recieved Wednesday was from Joeseph and Lena.
It said they just got hit by a tornado. (north of Sams on Gatlin)
The tornado went right down the edge of their property and went down their road.
Their damage is minimal, but their water softner was damaged by a branch in the tornado. So they are without water and power.
They are staying with family in Tradition.
If you know any more stories, please let Pastor Cris know.
Here are some I have Recieved.
Hans
We did have a lot of tornado activity around us in Hope sound and south Stewart. We were under a tornado warning for four hours consecutive.
I visited three customers today, whose property is within a mile of our house and they varied from significant impact to near devastation.
How do we help with our friends on the west coast?
Thursday I recieved a call from Jay Wedland (head of Lutheran Early Response Team).
He was asking for how we are and asking for volunteers to help in St Petersburg.The 2 churches in St. Petersburg have 75 homes with signifigant flood damage.
He was asking for volunteers to muck out homes there before the mold sets in.
He stressed that it is not pleasant work. It is hot and messy.
I asked how long would someone be expected to help.
He said no more than a week, and it can be just a couple of days.
He will take what he can get.
Wednesday would be the earliest day you would begin.

Church in this part of Haiti is different than what we are used to at Grace Lutheran PSL.
Their Sunday runs much of the day with food and celebration. Right now, when people are enjoying the body of Christ, they must travel to a tree blind to use the bathroom. Not to mention when out-of-towners visit this church there is nowhere close to use the facilities.
This is a photo of the Main Church we work with in Haiti and where the bathroom will be.
As you can see from the photos this church is a humble building. But it is a beacon of love and service in its community. On a typical sunday they will have around 100 poeple in attendance.
Pastor Bruno Lexene (pictured) works with Habitat for children ministries to serve his community.
This is the same community the “Girls” came from.
Most of the people who live in this community do not have bathrooms themselves. Many of their homes are on our project list at HFCM to build a kitchen and bathroom.
Photo at Pastor Bruno Lexene House.
You can tell its a pastors house becasue its set up as the community hangout. 10 Min walk to the church
Yes they worship 90 to 100 people a week here.
