Synod News Upcoming Events Joys and Concerns Congregational News Synod Transitions Synod News Severe Spring Storms Update A tornado in Moore, Okla., was part of a May storm system that swept across Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. According to news reports, 24 people are confirmed dead with 20 in Moore and four in Oklahoma City. The tornado, which traveled on the ground for 20 miles, demolished an elementary school and destroyed hundreds of homes and businesses. Two ELCA congregations in Kansas were impacted by tornadoes May 19. Zion Lutheran Church in Hollenberg, Kan., and Good Shepherd Lutheran in Washington, Kan., both sustained damage to church property. No one was injured in the storms. The ELCA has made worship resources available in response to recent severe storms and through Lutheran Disaster Response, ELCA members and congregations may support tornado survivors in partnership with local Lutheran affiliates and ELCA synods.
