When disaster strikes, how can the church share the love of Jesus with those affected? Did you know that the Presbyterian Church in America has a Disaster Response Ministry where you can volunteer and use your gifts to bring hope to those in desperate situations?
On Saturday October 26, 2024 8:30am-1pm Chapelgate Presbyterian Church will be hosting a training event for men, women and youth interested in serving in this important ministry. Registration will open at 8am where we will have some refreshments and fellowship and the first morning session will begin at 8:30am. This will be a general training that will be interactive and informative including such topics as:
What can I expect when I participate in a Disaster Response mission trip?
How can my gifts and experience be used on a trip?
Disaster basics of house mucking, mold remediation, roof tarping, and tree removal.
Safety and health in Disaster Areas.
Logistics: Lodging, food, what to pack.
How to share the love of Jesus with those suffering hardships.
How to apply Disaster Response ministry principles in your local community and with your neighbors.
Starting at 10:15 we will switch over to practical hands-on training. There will be instruction and tips on roof repair including tarping, patching and safety, as well as instruction on drywall installation, finish, and repair. We will also be covering other safety issues including proper use of power tools.
After the training we will share lunch together! Sign up below
