I wonder to what extent your friend's photos are damaged. If the images are pretty much intact, they could be copied and somewhat restored on new photographic paper. As a photography hobbyist, I try to keep my slides and photos on high shelves in the closet to avoid flood damage. And I've tried to give copies of my family pictures to others in my family, so that there are back-ups available. I keep negatives of my favorite scenic pics in my safety deposit box. But even at that, I would still have photo losses in case of a fire -- I'm guilty of thinking it will never happen to me so don't have a fireproof safe in my house. I agree with you that churches have a lot of benevolent activities beyond their primary mission of meeting spiritual needs, but of course it is all interrelated. As far as new vs. familiar faces in the flood relief project, I've seen the usual high-profile staff and volunteers who are always involved, but for the most part it's been a younger group of new faces that I've observed. It's a large church that works at attracting young families and singles, so we oldsters have become a minority, which is good.
