Community rallies around tornado victims The City of Petersburg and surrounding communi- ties stepped up big this past week to assist the Ken- tucky tornado victims. Petersburg Nazarene Church was a collection site for items needed to help pro- vide a bit of relief to those devastated by the torna- does on December 10. "People throughout the com- munity stopped by the church all week to donate," says Rev. Steve Hamilton, Pastor of Petersburg Naza- rene Church. "We are blessed to live in a community that is so giving and wants to help others," said Ham- ilton. Besides household goods, food and cleaning supplies, almost $5000 was collected to help those in need in the community of Mayfield, Ky., and the surrounding hard-hit areas. In association with the Southwest Indiana District Church of the Nazarene and their churches, three box trucks were loaded Monday, and collected items and monies, including those from Petersburg, were taken to western Kentucky.
