An Appeal for Volunteers in Iowa

The Floods of 2008 brought destruction to Eastern Iowa. For those of us not affected, the thoughts of those dealing with the after affects of the floods receded as the flood waters receded.

But the recover process is still going on and there is a need for volunteers. The Christian Church in the Upper Midwest along with Disciple congregations in Eastern Iowa have made two videos to explain the depth of the situation in Iowa and how congregations in the Upper Midwest and across the nation can help.

The first video is called "Help Iowans Recover from 2008 Floods."



The second is geared especially towards college age students, inviting them down to Iowa for an "Alternative Spring Break." It focuses on the recovery efforts taking place at Cedar Christian Church in Cedar Rapids, IA. The church building sustained major damage with 8 feet of water entering the building.



If you or your congregation are interested in participating in the work teams, please contact Disciples Volunteering at (317) 289-5061.
