Disaster response update:<br> Tornado tears away Spavinaw steeple
That night, the church sheltered about 30 people in the town northeast of Tulsa. Despite the damage, the church then also served as a staging area for the Red Cross and a feeding station. In her first clergy appointment, Lora Stiles is pastor there and at Salina. Among the homes impacted, at least eight were destroyed and more than a dozen had major damage, according to initial Red Cross assessment. You and your church may give funds through the Oklahoma Conference Treasurer’s Office to help the Spavinaw residents impacted by the storm. Designate donations to Spavinaw Tornado Fund.
