Our Mission is to Assist Reverend David Mallory of First Christian Church Albany
in Response to The flood Victims in Albany. Those that can leave Thursday,
June 6 at Noon meet at Shepherd of the Hills Parking Lot so we can caravan to Albany
Other folks please meet us in the parking lot of First Christian Church
at 10:00 A.M. July 7th for assignments. You can call me on Cell: 512-751-6360 or
call the Church at 915-762-3480.
We need Volunteers (No experience necessary - all Sr. High's and Adults welcome).
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO??
Employ flood recovery
efforts like we have done in Austin and Houston.
We will clean up homes, and that
means tearing out sheet rock and insulation 4 ft up from floors throughout
these homes. That also means tearing out kitchen and bath cabinets that
were destroyed by water in these homes (So bring your plumbing tools too!).
You folks need to bring hammers, utility knives,
a couple of staple guns to tack up the insulation, nail aprons/tool belts,
gloves, cool clothes, and it is always handy to have a first aid kit plus
some mosquito spray. If you have folks who are experienced with taping and
floating they are welcome to put in the first application.
Hope this appeals to you.
Austin Area Churches
