Pinecrest Continues to Recover After Storm

Pinecrest continues to clean up after the severe straight line winds which ripped through the campground last Friday, May 8th. After one week, they are still without power and it is estimated that at least eleven poles will need to be replaced before power can be restored throughout the campground. Several buildings were damaged, including Pinecrest Chapel and Sycamore, which needs extensive repairs before it can be used. All in all, there were 22 trees laying on the buildings.

Fred and Debbie are very grateful for the generators which were brought in from several our churches last weekend and which are being used to keep the refrigerators and freezers running. They estimate this past week that volunteers have logged in over 1,100 hours of donated labor. More are expected to help this weekend. Fred and Debbie regret to have had to again cancel all groups this coming weekend.

Thanks for your continued prayers and support.
