I am not sure the other UPC building that is close would have been large enough.
That is what I was thinking

You were thinking correctly.

I am right here, an hour away from the scene. I have a pretty good grip on what is happening, and I know my district officials and brethren. This district would NOT have let something like this happen without offering help. I am among some great folks here in the Tennessee District, and don't mind saying so.

Bro. Tim Chandler and I viewed the damage first hand yesterday on our way to Memphis, including the subdvision behind the church. The pics we have all seen don't do it justice. However, as someone already said, when this is over, we will see the hand of God in it all.

I'm 12 hours away and immediately called to offer our willingness to load up the crew from my Church that helped us sift through the debris after the hurricane and do the same for them.

Additionally, the Men's Ministry Director for Tennessee is already making plans to gather a group to go assist in their recovery efforts an, ironically, it appears that Renda's Pastor is working in cooperation with this effort... a fact that was openly noted on another forum for some who post there, too, to see.

Offers of help have come from everywhere. Offers to let them utilize buildings have come from various directions... they chose the AG because it's practically in their backyard of their now destroyed place of worship.

Amazing how quickly it becomes an anti-UPC rant. Especially in light of the fact that help WAS offered from multiple UPC groups.

Sad.
UGH!
The whole point is that the AG stepped up to the plate.....

Also, this was blown way out of proportion by some that felt it was bashing. If you had taken time to read the thread you would see that all was said was too bad the UPC church didn't ask them first to use their building. No one is saying the UPC isn't willing to help. Why do some jump to such conclusions?
THANK YOU RENDA!

No I have not talked to Bro. Lance...

That's nothing. I get accused of being Canadian all the time.
Occasionally, I get accused of being a Christian Too!
