At the end of October, 2012, the New Jersey shore, among other places, was devastated by the landfall of Superstorm Sandy, or the "Frankenstorm" as it was nicknamed at the time. Sandy was only a category three hurricane at its worst, but at the time it made land in New Jersey, the combination of a full moon and high tides made the storm surge devastating.
On Sunday, 7 July, representatives of various congregations in the Maury River Mission Community assembled at Fairfield Presbyterian Church for the drive to Point Pleasant, New Jersey where we would help repair damage caused by Sandy.
This picture was taken after we returned home.

We may have begun as strangers to one another, but we finished the week as friends and respected colleagues.To keep the pages to a reasonable download size, I've divided the pictures into four general sections:
- Point Pleasant Presbyterian Church
- The house we worked on
- Pictures of the devastation and rebuilding
- Miscellaneous
