UMCOR with Salem
On Sunday, July 26, Rev. Tom Hazelwood was our special guest preacher. Tom is the Assistant General Secretary for disaster response in the United States for UMCOR (the United Methodist Committee On Relief). His presence gave people an opportunity to ask questions and speak with him directly. It was a good reminder that Salem is not alone. We are part of a larger connectional system that cares deeply about Salem.
Some of you may remember that Tom was with us for worship on my very first Sunday with Salem last year (at Lovely Lane UMC). That was just a few weeks after the flood. He spoke to the congregation that day. Now a year later, he has been back to spend more time with Salem.

Tom has written a very kind blog about his visit with us and how impressed he is that, even in the midst of the flood, Salem has remained strongly engaged in mission. Click here to read it.
