Volunteers in support of CrossRoads Mission joined the congregation at Cedar Christian Church on Saturday and Sunday (June 21st & 22) in clean up efforts. The mission area was completely cleaned out including the drywall. Now the only thing remains is some tear out left in the kitchen area, and removal of the carpet in the lower level of the church. We are truly grateful, and very blessed, to have all the Christian volunteers come forward to help the congregation at Cedar Christian Church reach its goal of restoring their buildings following the flood.
On Wednesday after our van is repaired, we plan to move some things from our office at Cedar Christian Church that were above the flood line and are salvageable, to our temporary office, at Hope Lutheran Church. The work is light as most of our possessions were located in the lower level of the church.
The only thing that I saw salvaged from the mission and I now have in my possession, are the brass candlesticks and the altar cross from the altar. To the best of my knowledge, all else was lost.
As we are now in the process of helping flood victims, we ask for your generous donations to alleviate human suffering. You are in our prayers as our community begins to turn toward recovery which is now estimated to be a 10 year process.
Yours in Christ,
Pat Kane, Diaconal Minister
CrossRoads Mission
