Jackson church prepares water donation for Flint, Mich.

JACKSON, Tenn. — Members of the Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church got to work Tuesday spreading what they call the fortune of residents here in the Hub City.

Members of the congregation are keeping busy this week packing water for those whose water was contaminated with lead earlier this year in Flint, Mich.

Macedonia organizers are accepting water and money donations until Wednesday, just before their group leaves on their latest mission. That group is leaving Thursday to drive to Flint.

Church leaders have asked for prayers for their work.
