One Body

These have been strange days. There has been a mixture of emotions as we have watched the events around Hurricane Harvey unfold. On the one hand hoping and praying that Harvey kept his distance from us, and on the other hand having our hearts break as we watch others go through what we went through just a year ago.

In the Church we often talk about being of “one body.” It is a term that connects us to others in ways that we cannot always explain. In Romans 12, from the readings for next week, Paul writes, “Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another.” We are one body. What affects one of us, affects all of us. We connect with those people affected by Harvey in a unique and genuine way. In our case, it is empathy that we feel, not merely sympathy.

Danner, adjutant general of the state's National Guard, and members of an emergency management team flew in the helicopter to view the devastation. Missouri Army National Guard photo by Cpl.

There will be much to do in the days, weeks, and even years to come. We are already working through channels in the affected Episcopal dioceses and SAES, the Southwestern Association of Episcopal Schools, to see how we as a school can help right now. 

If you are looking for ways to help those in need, click here for a message from the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana and Bishop Morris K. Thompson, Jr. Right now for most of us, donations seem to be the most effective way to help. Please find an organization that you know and trust to help those in need. There will certainly be efforts and opportunities through Episcopal in the future. 

Please join us in prayer as we ask for God’s blessings, healing, and peace in the time ahead for those affected by Hurricane Harvey.
