ANYONE WISHING TO HELP OUT WITH THE HURRICANE DORIAN DISASTER PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE BELOW


​​The images of the impact of Hurricane Dorian keep coming in.  This storm was a slow moving Category 5 storm as it crawled through the Bahamas leaving whole sections of communities leveled by wind and waves.  It continues its progress up the east coast bringing rain measured in feet, storm surges and wind damage in its path.  We are keeping an eye on the storm and the rescue and recovery efforts that are only now beginning to be underway. Your gifts to our denomination are already at work as initial aid and assessment are happening through our ministries and ministry partners.  Keep an eye on our national UCC Disaster Ministries webpage (https://www.ucc.org/disaster) for updates on efforts and on ways you can help. 
As a reminder, when we are touched by the images we see, we want to help in as tangible a way as possible.  Often that help comes in ways that compound the problems as people arrive without coordination or invitation or people send items that are not needed into a disaster zone that is not prepared to receive, store or distribute them.  Disaster response is a coordinated effort between government, non-profit and faith based institutions.  They have built relationships and networks over the years that allow rescue and recovery to happen in as fluid and effective a way as the disaster allows to be possible.  And the best way to help is to send funds through the agencies and organizations you trust.  Your gifts to our national UCC Disaster Ministries can be used immediately.  And, because of your ongoing support of our denomination, 100% of your gift is sent where the need is greatest in coordination with all these partners. 

You can donate directly on the UCC website listed above.  Or send checks to your Conference office with a note in the memo line that the funds are for disaster relief. 
Faithfully,
Don Remick

HOPE SHOE CUTTING PARTY A BIG SUCCESS
Our shoe cutting party was a big success even though the weather was not on our side.  We cut out 35 pair of shoe patterns, had some wonderful soup and sandwiches and good fellowship.  Some people took home the patterns to cut out and bring back so we should have about 50 patterns to send off to the processing plant in N.C. who will then send them over to Uganda where the shoes will be made and delivered to the children in the villages.  I want to thank all those who helped support this effort by bringing in milk cartons, your old jeans or making items of food.  If you wish to go on the website to better understand this organization I have created a link below.
