As you have seen by now, Hurricane Ian made landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast with category 4 winds and storm surges causing significant flooding and devastating the southwest area of the state and beyond. We have received damage reports of varying levels from at least 150 churches in our conference and we are still assessing the full impact of the storm. Pictured below is the youth room at Englewood UMC -- just one of our many churches that will need help in the long road to recovery ahead.
