Summer 2009 Opportunity for All–Ecumenical Work Week, New Orleans
Three years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, residents continue their efforts to rebuild. But they need our support. The faith community was there as first responders. We will continue to be there for the victims of this storm until the work is done. Come to New Orleans as we worship, witness and work together to help those in need as they rebuild their homes, churches, communities and lives. An Ecumenical Work Week is scheduled for August 2-8, 2009 in New Orleans, Louisiana. This week of ministry and fellowship will not only help those still experiencing the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina but will highlight the need for continued work and ministry in this impacted region.
See below links for additional information and registration forms.
For more information, call Victoria Goff at 800-ABC-3USA (800-222-3872), ext. 2449, or e-mail vgoff@abc-usa.org. |

Through the Volunteers Ministries program, caring people can give freely of their valuable time and talents to respond to a call to ministry in the United States and Puerto Rico. Appointed volunteer missionary candidates must be at least 18 to serve for a week, several weeks, several months, or a year or more, with options for reappointment.
There are currently more than 100 mission settings available where individuals and groups can serve through Volunteers In Mission.
Thank you to all who have called, e-mailed and written asking how you can help alleviate the suffering that has resulted from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. American Baptists around the country are lending a hand to aid the survivors with ongoing recovery efforts. The denomination is also accepting monetary donations through our One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) offering.
See the instruction under OGHS for Katrina relief donations. As we are able, we will advise you on how to give immediate assistance in the most effective ways. Thank you for your concern. Please continue to pray for those in need. |
