With the string of natural disasters that have struck around the United States over the past month and a half - the most recent striking close to home in Joplin and Sedalia - the links between community and faith have come into sharper focus as those areas struggle to recover.
With that in mind, Fulton Mayor LeRoy Benton has decided to make faith and community the focus of the Mayor's Prayer Breakfast on June 9.
To help the tornado-stricken people of Dumas and surroundings, donations can be made to the Delta Area Disaster Relief Fund, care of the Delta Area Community Foundation, P.O. Box 894, Dumas, AR, 71639, or through the Arkansas Community Foundation, 700 S. Rock St., Little Rock, AR, 72202.
