And to celebrate, I'm in Bayou La Batre setting up camp for the summer with Hilltop, testing our disaster response plan, and getting some red cross training. I'll get you pictures and more information later today on the blog.
We have 126 people presently scheduled from Ohio to work in Bayou La Batre the week of July 7-15! That's 26 over capacity, but we'll find room for everyone. Other weeks between June 15 and July 27 are still open if you want to come join in. We'll also be scheduling trips into August and beyond.
June 8, North Canton Church of Christ will be in Chalmette working as will Linworth UMC the week of July 27. Each team numbers approximately 30.
The first day of the season with two storms named so far, one in the Atlantic and one in the Pacific, plus the much larger response we have this summer make me wonder what God has in store for us. Teams scheduled during season are our first responders if a new storm comes in. Once a hosting organization has a camp set up, the area is safe, and there is work to do on the ground, we'll redirect our scheduled teams and other first response crew into the area.
Thanks for your servant hearts and spirit as this effort continues and we prepare for the next one.
