Taking care of folks in an emergency is a powerful way to show Christ’s love.  If you missed the Red Cross Shelter Operations training in June, or would like a refresher, Oak Grove Baptist Church will be hosting a training on Saturday, November 13th from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. There is no charge for this training and lunch will be provided.

In case of an emergency, both Salem UMC and Oak Grove Baptist would likely be called upon to be shelters, so it makes sense to work together and get acquainted beforehand.

Since a meal will be provided, Oak Grove has asked that we let them know how many from Salem UMC will be attending.  Please contact Dixie Norfleet at 729-4551 by November 5th (or earlier!).

The next shelter planning meeting will be at Salem UMC at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 22, 2009.  This is extremely important, since we need to be prepared for winter, which will arrive all too soon!

Please plan to attend – you make a difference!  Contact Dixie (programs@salemmoumc.com) if you have any questions.
