local United Methodist Churches and district offices
as they assist their communities and individuals
to prepare, respond and recover from disaster.

St. Paul's UMC in Jacksonville recently returned from rebuilding
and repairing a home in North Carolina - a home damaged in August of 2011 by Hurricane Irene.

Team member Fred DeWitt shares some thoughts about their trip.
