NEWS FROM NORTHWEST DISTRICT
For the second time in just three years, the small towns of Mayflower and Vilonia have been devastated by spring tornadoes. There have been several fatalities, and many more injuries. We continue to be in prayer for all those that were in the path of these storms. Things to Remember: Please do not self-deploy. We need to allow the search and rescue, utility companies, and other emergency agencies to do their work first. Do not send clothes. This is called the "second disaster" as a space is required to house the donations, and volunteers are needed to collect and sort. Please Donate to UMCOR. 100% will go to help the victims of this disaster. Go to www.arumc.org/arkansas_disaster_response or send directly to: Arkansas Conference Attn: Disaster Response, PO Box 3611, Little Rock, AR 72203
