Safari & Relief

This Saturday from 10am to 1pm is our Safari Outreach Event! It's designed for me and you to invite our neighbors and friends so they can experience the people of Oso Creek and the grace of God!

And now the Outreach part is going to reach further and further as we are asking you to bring relief supplies for folks up the coast. . . .

Here are the biggest needs we are hearing about right now (and I'll keep you up to date as these change):

- Water - How about bringing all the bottled water you were storing for a hurricane!

- Gift Cards (WalMart, Home Depot, Lowes . . . buy in $10-$20 increments so that we can have lots of flexibility in distributing them)

- Chainsaws - Maybe you have an old one you don't ever use, or want to buy a new one to donate . . . This is the most desperate need! They need to clear tress and brush from the roadways and yards . . .

We are asking you to bring these items on Saturday to the Festival -- or Sunday if it doesn't work on Saturday . . . .

In addition to that - we are making a survey/work trip to the Angleton area on MONDAY . . . . We will leave early Monday morning and come back late Monday night . . . Anyone who is interested in going and helping to spend the day working cutting trees and clearing brush is invited! The help is desperately needed.
Please comment on this post or call the church office if you are interested!
