Two Weeks to Get Organized

Ike Response, 081021

Two Weeks to Get Organized

We had a light weekend of helping - only working at the Stark’s house in Dickinson - but it was a really worthwhile time.

This coming weekend we won’t be sending out any organized crews, because many of us will be on the church camp-out.

Actually, the word ‘organized’ in the above sentence may be a bit optimistic, which leads to the purpose of this post: we’ve got two weeks to get organized.

Two weeks from last Saturday will be November 1st. By that date I’m praying that we will have four crew leaders and hopefully four crews defined, one for each of the first four Saturdays of the month. This rotation will last as long as meaningful Ike response is available, which will be for a while, especially on Galveston Island.

Here is the schedule for November, December (need doesn’t take a break for Christmas, though we may have to some of these weekends) and January:
1st Saturday: November 1, December 6, January 3
2nd Saturday: November 8, December 13, January 10
3rd Saturday: November 15, December 20, January 17
4th Saturday: November 22, December 27, January 24

By the way, we’re thinking of using these crews for needs within the body as well, such as helping people move or helping with church building or individual home projects (like helping the Reeds do home modifications for Donna’s wheelchair).

We still need two crew leaders and many crew members to round out this rotation. Please prayerfully consider your schedule and respond to this need by e-mailing Bob (mail@trinityfellowship.net) or Iva (ivaf@trinityfellowship.net) with the following information: name, which Saturday (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th), willing to be crew leader.

Thanks for your help!
