Bringing
Hope to Cedar Rapid is what has taken 21 adults from our church
(including Pastor Emmanuel who just went for a day). As you may recall,
the 2008 flood damaged over 5,000 homes in this area. The Iowa Annual
Conference, as a response to this natural disaster, has designed a
Storm Recovery Program. In the Cedar Rapids area, this work through
Marion First UMC, which coordinates help from volunteers that come from
different churches and organizations from all over the country.
The
group from our church left on Monday, May 11 and will be back on
Friday, May 15. Here is what they have been doing to help: rebuild,
repair and clean up.
THANK you so much for your support in any form, and please, pray for all the people in Cedar Rapids.
