Disaster Relief: Gulf Coast (Dulac) 2008
March 22-29, 2008

Members of our congregation and the Clarkston United Methodist Church spent a week in Dulac, Louisiana, doing repairs to damage caused by Hurricane Katrina.

From the March 2, 2008, Steeple Notes

Hurricane Katrina Recovery….

Twenty years ago our own Pastor Ron Fulton took several groups of youth to a church in Dulac, Louisiana and built a parsonage. Twenty years later, we are heading back to Dulac to help with storm recovery and reconstruction. We urge you to seriously consider coming with us to help. We are looking forward to rebuilding this relationship, and are nearing the final days to sign up. Our trip is March 22-29. Teens aged 13 and older are welcome, as are adults. The primary need in Dulac is for construction workers, and on-the-job training will be provided. Non-construction work may also be available. Contact Mary Peterson for more information.


On the drive down to Dulac, the team celebrated Easter at
First United Methodist Church in Brentwood, Tennessee.
