Of Gratitude and Prayers
Good morning and Welcome,
Thank you for tuning in this morning. Today on Of Gratitude and Prayers we celebrate that we have avoided the hard hitting power of Florence while continue to send out prayers to all those in her path. The damage caused by wind and flooding is tremendous, yet it is not over.
Down in Lumberton
There is a collective of folks already down in Lumberton helping those in need of services. They went down prior to the hurricane to provide early relief when it was needed. Their desire is to help provide supplies to the Lumbee, Penbrook, and Tuscarora as well as other indigenous folks down there.

RVA area people. If you wish to send supplies down with me to NC, you can meet me at my apartment close to the pipeline in old Manchester before 9AM.
