Service Notes
On the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, The Very Rev. Tom Purdy reflects on the storm’s devastation and the deeper lessons it still teaches us—about fear, misplaced priorities, and the call of Jesus to treasure people over possessions. Through personal memories, historical accounts, and insights from a recent documentary, Dean Purdy explores how fear can distort truth, how assumptions can hinder compassion, and how the Gospel offers an antidote: “Do not be afraid, little flock…”
From stories of heroism amid chaos to the warning that “when the mission becomes about saving stuff instead of saving people, we’ve gotten it wrong,” this message invites us to reexamine our own hearts, our communities, and our mission in God’s Kingdom.
📖 Key Scripture: Luke 12:32-40
