The week of August 3, 2008, Disciples Volunteering will begin operation of a Disciples Mission
Station in Iowa to respond to the massive flooding there. This work is a partnership between
Week of Compassion, Upper Midwest Region of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ),
congregations serving as mission stations, and Disciples Volunteering.
At this time, three congregations (Noelridge Christian Church, Cedar Rapids; Marion Christian
Church; and First Christian Church, Coralville, will serve as mission stations, and two other
congregations may soon join them. Work groups are currently being scheduled by Disciples
Volunteering for the period of August 3 - November 16, 2008. Each mission station will be
managed by a Disciples Volunteering Mission Station Manager.
To schedule a work week, please contact Anne Marie in the Office of Disciples Volunteering at

efforts, please contact Carl Zerweck, Director of Disciples Volunteering at (317) 289-5061. A
