Putting Lives Back Together - Cleaning
Supplies for Louisiana Flood Victims: Our Bishop Devadhar is pleading for us to
provide much needed clean up supplies for flood victims in Louisiana.
Families like Paige and Brady
Wax, a young couple at First UMC Baton Rouge, need our help. They are
expecting their first child in February, and only escaped from their home by
driving through water that was already up to the windows of Paige’s Jeep.
But they are working to clean up after
the devastation. "I told someone today that I have been really lucky
because I get to see the face of God every day in the people he sent to us. I
know we are going to be OK,” Paige said.
WUMC has been asked for giant 5
gallon buckets packed full with the 15 different items most needed to clean up
from mud and sewage.
So... this Sunday, please help
families put their lives back together. Prayerfully consider you and your
family donating $50 for a giant bucket of clean up supplies, or $25 to pay for
half the cost, which we'll then use to buy the items in bulk and pack as many
buckets as we can. Bring a check payable to "Weston UMC" with the
notation "Cleaning Buckets".
Contact Carole Kerr who is leading
this effort if you have any questions.
