Volunteers are urgently needed at the Cedar Christian Church on SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 2008 BEGINNING AT 9:00 A.M.
Cedar Christian Church
526 - 3rd Avenue SW
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
If you and a carload of your friends can volunteer to assist a fellow congregation in cleaning out the Cedar church building, your help will be greatly appreciated. Dan Mineck, Board Chair at Cedar Christian, says that a hundred volunteers likely won't be too many.
Please call Lynette at 319-389-1065
As you may know, the Cedar Christian Church church building was underwater for several days...and there is extensive water damage throughout the fellowship hall, sanctuary, and new education building. Water stood at approximately 7 feet above ground level, so most everything in the building on ground floor or below is likely destroyed.
Please wear long pants and work boots, and gloves and a mask, and anything else that will keep you safe and protected. While the water has entirely drained out of the buildings, there is still much material in the buildings that has been submerged and needs to be removed...carpeting in the sanctuary, boxes of paper and other material, desks and chairs, soaked drywall, etc., etc. It is hoped that all this material, and the wet drywall can be removed before the mold arrives. The stench of the remains of dirty, standing water is pretty powerful, so please come prepared for a tough day's work.
Your participation in this Disciples Together activity will surely be a blessing to the good folks at Cedar Christian Church. May God richly bless you as you give this day of labor in love for your fellow Disciples.
