As Hurricane Ida approaches Louisiana with 150 mph winds, please join EPC leadership in prayer for those in its path. Several EPC churches in Louisiana are in the path of the storm:

• First Presbyterian Church in Thibodeaux (Pastor: Bill Crawford)
• First Presbyterian Church in Houma (Pastor: Bill Crawford)
• Woodland Church in New Orleans (Pastor: Joseph McDaniels)
• Church of the Resurrection in New Orleans (Pastor: Ben Cunningham)
• New Covenant EPC in Mandeville (Pastor: Hunter Gray)
• Faith Presbyterian Church in Covington (Pastor: Jason Wood)
• River Community Church in Prairieville (without a Pastor, but Whitney Alexander is Moderator of Session).
• First Presbyterian Church in Baton Rouge (Pastor: Gerrit Dawson).

Pray that God’s grace and protective hand will sustain those who have not been able to evacuate. Pray also for each of these Pastors and their staff and leaders as they care for their congregations and communities today and in the days to come.
