Payne County went through a very troubling time yesterday.  A lot of people were evacuated from their homes and had to spend the night wondering if they were going to be without a home the next morning.  And many people actually have suffered the loss of their homes and damage to their property, greatly impacting their lives.  I just want to reach out and sympathize with these people.  We have been praying for them and will continue to do so.  Also, If anyone needs assistance, we will do what we can to help;  please let us know.​

Finally, we want to thank all the firefighters and police officers who put their lives on the line last night to protect our homes and families;  it could have been a lot worse.  To God be the glory.
