FARGO, N.D. -- The bloated Red River briefly breached a dike early Sunday, pouring water into a school campus and the mayor called it a "wakeup call" for a city that needs to be vigilant for weaknesses in levees that could give way at any time.

Crews managed to largely contain the flooding to the campus of Oak Grove Lutheran, grades 6-12, preventing more widespread damage in nearby areas.

The city requested more volunteers to resume sandbagging Sunday. Many were expected to turn out after church services in the heavily Lutheran city of more than 90,000 residents. The mayor began his briefing Sunday morning with a prayer, and Gov. John Hoeven encouraged everyone "to say a prayer for everyone in harm's way."

Triumph Lutheran Brethren Church moved its Sunday services to a hotel to accommodate people from other churches that canceled worship because of the flood.

"It'll be just prayer, some old hymns everybody knows, and being together," said Triumph Lutheran member Tami Crist. "We've sandbagged a lot of people's homes, they're safe for now. We can sit back and know that we've done what we can do. Now God's going to do what he can do."
