Columbia church members head to North Carolina to assist with hurricane relief efforts

From South Carolina with video-

Members from St. Martin’s In the Fields Episcopal church packed their bags Sunday afternoon to head over to New Burn, North Carolina to assist with hurricane relief efforts.

Ten members left Columbia with four packed trucks and a trailer with disaster relief items to help with a week’s worth of work.

Mitchell Smith, Rector St. Martins in the field Episcopal Church said, “We just have a community that is about serving people and as a church, we believe we are the hands and feet of Christ in the world and it’s our opportunity to live that out and serve.”

A family from the New Burn area contacted Rector Smith and asked for a place to stay during the hurricane.

After the devastation, some parts of New Bern faced, they decided it was their calling to help those in need.
