Lisa Harper (who has signed the Steppingstones Book and has been on the path to membership) experienced a tragic house fire on Sunday evening. Lisa and her two children are OK, but sadly, her fiancé, Dennis Perry, died of smoke inhalation. We ask that you keep Lisa and her children in your thoughts and prayers, and to put those prayers into action to the extent you are able.
The family has lost everything. They are currently staying with a friend, but are looking for a place to stay, long-term. In the meantime, they are in need of just about everything. Although they have already received enough children’s clothing, Lisa herself can use pants, Size 12, shoes, Size 10 and shirts in Large or X-Large, depending on how they run. You can bring the clothing to the church.
Later on, when they have a place to stay, they will need all kinds of household supplies, including pots and pans, dishes and silverware, bed linens and towels, and all the things that go into reestablishing a household. Please wait for notification of where to bring those items at the appropriate time.
You can also send monetary contributions for the family:
