December Storm Disaster Relief
The storms that came through Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky the weekend of December 10 caused destruction that is still being covered by the national news. An EF3 tornado brought about significant damage in Henry County, Tennessee, where Grace Episcopal Church in Paris, Tennessee is located.

In Henry County many homes and buildings were damaged or destroyed, along with barns and water wells.

People have often asked me for guidance on providing help. These are a few things I have learned.
