Christ the King Church and the American Red Cross are partnering to make the
church’s facilities available as a disaster shelter. In keeping with the
focus of a neighborhood church, this project will involve individuals from nearby
neighborhoods as well as members of CTK. Churches are very often the first to
respond to a call for help, but without prior preparation, this excellent resource
has limited effectiveness. Training provided by the Red Cross is scheduled for
Saturday, September 25, 9-11:00 a.m., in the parish hall. Individuals are needed
to assist with registration, meals, dormitory management, health services and
client services. Because a disaster is unpredictable, a core group of 20-30
individuals is needed in addition to those who may not be available for training,
but want to serve in an emergency. Contact
Linda Schoene or Beverly Davis
or 713-523-2864 x27 for additional information or to register for the training.
