Joplin relief efforts

Please help get the word out. We are partnering with other churches, agencies and KCVO Spirit FM to collect supplies for the people in Joplin. The drop off will be at KCVO as they are planning to load up Wednesday evening and be on the road early Thursday morning.
Greatest needs: Bottled Water, ready to eat, non-perishable food items, toiletries, diapers, wipes, formula, extension cords, blankets and towels. Currently we are asking you to purchase and deliver your items directly to KCVO.

Pastor Tom has been in contact with the Baptist organization in Joplin and they have immediate need for cups, plates and paper towels in case lots. If you would like to contribute to this need by donation or purchase, drop contribution by the church office today or early tomorrow as he is planning to head west this week to bring what he can to them.

Finally, we are being told that at this time, volunteer labor is not being allowed in to the area. As the days and weeks unfold, we know that help will be needed and our plan is to provide volunteer work teams in the days ahead. As soon as a contact person for PH is established, we will get that information out. If you are available to organize the volunteer team effort, please give us a call at the church office -346-3951 x 11.

Thank you followers of Christ!!
