UMVIM Headed to Louisiana - Our primary tasks will be mitigating flood damage and securing homes before winter weather.
Cal-Pac Volunteers in Mission Headed to Louisiana
Calling all Disaster Responders!
We have an opportunity to serve in the Baton Rouge area of Louisiana from November 14-21. Our primary tasks will be mitigating flood damage and securing homes before winter weather. There are four churches in the area who will be hosting volunteers.
They will provide:
Cots or air mattresses
Full use of kitchen, including refrigeration, pots and pans and utensils
Showers (we have towel sets in the trailer)
The Louisiana conference charges $15 per person per night for church facilities and materials.
We will leave California, for those driving, early on Saturday morning the 12th, pick up the Tool Trailer near Austin on the 13th, and arrive in Louisiana on Monday, the 14th. We will pull out of Louisiana on Monday, the 21st, arriving back before Thanksgiving.
Because of the short notice, we will function on the ERT model that we have used successfully the past few years. Everyone contributes $500 cash which covers insurance, common food purchases and conference charges (above). Excess funds will be equitably divided to help defray the cost of towing the trailer, nights on the road, and transportation. Meals eaten at restaurants are the individual’s responsibility.
To join the team, please contact Doug and Judy Lewis, team leaders immediately.
Please prayerfully consider joining the team.

WJUMC Bishops send letter to President Obama in support of Standing Rock Sioux Nation

As I have completed my final District Welcome event, I want to thank all of those who made these events possible. First, let me thank the District Superintendents and district Lay Leaders who planned and organized the events. Let me thank the local churches that hosted the events: Aiea Korean (Hawaii), Rolling Hills (West), San Diego First (South), Glendale First (North), and Riverside First (East). I need to thank the pastors and lay members of those churches who worked so hard to prepare for these welcomes. Finally, I need to thank all of you who attended these events. It means so much to me for you to take time to travel to and attend after a very busy morning for most. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!READ MORE
