The destruction caused by both Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma is massive. As Christians, we want to respond but are not sure how. One way to respond is to be a part of an Early Response Team (ERT). Teams are already being planned to start in September and October. Training is required and will be available throughout the Conference, including the South District.
The South District Training is Saturday, September 23rd at Catalina UMC, 2700 E. Speedway Blvd., Tucson. Training is from 8:00am to 5:00pm and costs $30.00. For more information and to register, go to https://dscumc.org/2017/08/ert-training-2017/
Trained ERTS can also serve in a Chainsaw Team after additional training is completed. Contact Jim Reeves at jim44@cox.net to find out more.
