  "The people who come here are genuinely appreciative of what we do. 
Weâve
 lost a lot of family members since the flood. Theyâve relocated. 
Some died
    in their homes. So it makes you feel good to know that youâre 
doing
   something good for the community." - Kay Renar, a volunteer at a 
free
  community health clinic held at Mount Zion United Methodist Church 
in New
                                  Orleans.

Luke's House offers healing and prayers

   NEW ORLEANS (UMNS) - Five years after the storm, Hurricane Katrina 
is still
   causing havoc in the lives of people living near Mount Zion United 
Methodist
   Church. Most in this low-income neighborhood are living without 
any medical
   benefits, and their health suffers, said Ruby Glenn a retired 
nurse. Glenn
   is one of the volunteers who have responded with Luke's House, a 
free
   community health clinic held every Tuesday night in the church.

Louisiana churches hail Katrina response

   BATON ROUGE, La. (UMNS) - Five years after Hurricane Katrina, 
disciples are
   fewer, but discipleship is much stronger, says Bishop William W. 
Hutchinson
   of the Louisiana Annual (regional) Conference. In a UMNS 
commentary, the
   bishop writes, "We have come to realize the essence of the gospel: 
It is not
   about us. The mission of the church is about reaching out to a 
hurting
   society and world with the life-saving message and love of Jesus 
Christ. We
   lost church buildings and congregations, but we gained the church."
