Gulf Oil Spill Update: Rev. Neil McDavid, Director of Connectional Ministries, has invited churches in the AWF Conference to contact him if they would like to partner with a church in the area directly affected by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. These partner churches will provide prayer support for those dealing with circumstances surrounding environmental and economic stress as a result of the spill.
Visit www.awfumc.org/oilspill for helpful information regarding the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, including information on how to initiate the BP claims process. Churches are encouraged to share this information with those in their community who have experienced diminished resources (careers in tourism, fishing, etc.) as a result of the spill. Contact Amelia Fletcher, AWF Conference Disaster Response Coordinator, for more ideas on how churches may be involved in the response effort.
