Churches Flex Muscles for Hurricanes.

[Johnboy60]

America’s denominations flexed their muscles in the aftermath of Katrina, providing funds, food, shelter, counseling and prayer for the afflicted. And while the less-devastating Hurricane Rita will likely draw a smaller response, churches are still calling on its members to give liberally, serve generously, and pray diligently.

The category 3 storm Rita surged through Texas and Louisiana Saturday, downing power lines and trees, sparking fires, and flooding thousands of homes. However, despite the damage, federal and local emergency management workers breathed a sigh of relief that the devastation was far less severe than that caused by Katrina.

"There's none of that just-down-to-the-foundation devastation that we saw out of Mississippi after Katrina,” said Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Saturday.
