Gloria Dei, New Orleans, Pastor Mark Buetow. Water was six feet deep in their sanctuary, but it is dry now. Hymnals were destroyed. Parsonage is located upstairs in their educational annex and had considerable damage, much mold, ceiling pieces all over the floor. He is with family in Louisville, KY, hoping to go back October first, if the flooding is not too bad following Hurricane Rita. Their greatest need at present is for cash. He doesn't know how soon they can start holding services and when he will be paid by his

church. They need money for new hymnals among other things.
