We have been informed of an extremely urgent need in our Conference. Rev. Ray Buchanan called with information of a house fire that has destroyed everything that belonged to Billy and Sarah Leopard, Music Directors at Beacon of Hope PH Church. This couple, and their two young sons, have been devastated by the effects of this fire and now are in need of clothes, and the basics for living.

Will you join with us as the Upper South Carolina Conference to help this family in their time of need? If you would like to make a donation to help them, you may send it to the Conference Office. Also, we will be collecting clothing for the Leopards. Rev. Mac Jones is serving as the contact person to make sure the clothes and supplies get to this family. The drop off location for clothing items will be South Greenwood PH Church, Monday - Thursday from 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Mac at 864.227.1559 (h) or 864.992.6090 (c). The clothing sizes needed are listed below:

Men's - 40 x 32 pants, XL shirts, 38 underwear, 9.5 wide shoes
Women's - 22 pants, XL shirts, 9-10 underwear, 8.5 medium shoes
Boy's size - 14 pants, (men's) L shirts, 28 - 32 underwear, 8.5 men's shoes
Boy's size - 6 pants, 7-8 shirts, 6-8 underwear, 11.5-12 boys shoes

Thank you in advance for all of your help for this family. Please remember them in prayer during this time of great loss in their lives. It is a blessing to know that we as a Conference can join together to help one another in times of need. Thank you for being the blessing that you always are.
