How You Can Help California Wildfire Victims
The CNH District is receiving recovery donations for the Northern California fires. You can donate by sending a check (made out to "CNH District Disaster Relief Fund") to 2772 Constitution Drive Ste A, Livermore, CA 94551. Please write "Disaster Relief Fund" in the memo line. 

You may also go directly to the CNH website to donate.  On that page is the excerpt of a letter sent by Brandon Merrick, pastor at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Paradise, to members of the congregation, along with a photo of the cross in front of their church (courtesy of Tyler and Elizabeth Frank). 

Merrick writes:  "For me, this picture is not just a heartbreaking reminder of what can happen to the things and people of this world, this is our one true hope in the midst of tragedy that cannot be destroyed by anything. God is with us. God...wants nothing more than for you to see Him through the cross where He draws us to the only place His mercy and forgiveness are found. In this picture I understand how in the cross we see both the ultimate consequence of our sin in death and the new life we have with Jesus. Your prayers are needed. Pray that people would turn to Jesus for comfort, assurance, and hope. And may those who are serving on the ground bring Jesus to them. Ask that Pastors Merrick and Donald Jordan (from Redeemer, Chico) and God's people in the area would be strengthened for the opportunity God has provided."
