Disaster Relief Volunteers
Advent Lutheran Church has a group of dedicated volunteers who are willing to go to unknown places to help people and their communities following a disaster. The group has been to New Orleans 3 times to help with Katrina cleanup. They went to the cities of Rushford and Winona to help following the spring flooding of 2007. The group spent a week in Iowa City helping to rebuild 2 churches and assisting a woman with her house. Most recently, the disaster relief team worked in Jamestown, North Dakota helping to clean up parks and a basement that had been flooded. Watch for another workweek to be scheduled. This is heart changing work-please join us! Call Karen Coddington at 763-425-4243 for more information.
