Lady Lake Church of God, February 2007



"(The tornado) has plugged us into the community in a greater way," the Rev. Larry Lynn recently told the St. Petersburg Times. "It was a gift, but it came in an ugly package."

Lynn's church, Lady Lake Church of God, was completely destroyed by the Groundhog Day tornadoes. The congregation quickly sprang into action helping neighbors in need, and church grounds became a central staging area for assistance to Floridians in Lake and Sumter counties.

With a grant from this Fund and other supporters, as well as assistance from the Lake and Sumter Long-Term Recovery group (LASER), the church is being rebuilt on its original site.
