Takin’ it to the Streets was established over nine years ago as part of the ministry of LAVIM to gather large groups of volunteers for an intense mission of public service in a one-weekend event. In recent years, this ministry has focused on the building of handicap ramps in various communities. In response to hurricanes Rita and Katrina, the Louisiana Conference formed Louisiana Disaster Recovery Ministry to serve the needs of those impacted by those hurricanes which brought devastation throughout the southern portion of our state. Joining hands in this continuing recovery and rebuilding process, Disaster Recovery and LAVIM have announced three Takin’ it to the Streets events in 2007. While building ramps for the disabled may be assigned to some teams, the events will largely center on the “mucking out” or repair of storm damaged homes in the Abbeville area, Lake Charles and New Orleans. |

Wesley Foundation - Archie Gentry extends big thank you for supporting the recent fundraiser of the sale of Easter crosses. Our congregation purchased approximately 20 crosses, plus donated generously above the cost of the cross. While in a generous mood and spring is here for cleaning out closets, set aside unused items for their May 5th yard sale. Small items may be left at our church and large items can be picked up by calling Archie/Don Gentry-419-2533 In July a group from the Wesley Center will make a mission trip to New Mexico to work with Native Americans on their reservation. Donations toward this ministry will gladly be accepted. The Center is still looking for groups to prepare and serve lunch on Wednesday. If you are your group would like to become more involved with this ministry to the students at SLU please Contact Don/Archie at 419-2533 |
