New information and new phone number.
The latest information from the Memphis Conference indicates they will be involved in tree/limb removal for months to come. Once roads, driveways, and access to electrical service are cleared, many trees and limbs will remain scattered across yards and farms in Western, KY and northern parts of West TN.
Specially trained UMVIM Early Response Teams with heavy equipment are being requested from across the Southeastern Jurisdiction to work in some of the hardest hit areas and deal with the larger trees. Other church or district groups that can do lighter removal will be needed over the next several months. Stephen’s ministers could also be utilized as a part of a group to be listeners to survivors as they provide spiritual and emotional care.
Beginning Monday, February 16, all offers to volunteer through the Memphis Conference will be routed through one toll free number, 877-552-7337. Until Friday, please use 1-866-966-7161. Please contact me with questions, as well as, let me know dates you’ve scheduled. If you are willing to partner with another church or individual who wants to serve, we’d love to connect churches in serving Christ and neighbor.
Lee Stevenson, Mt. Zion UMC, has been invited to bring a team to Webb Memorial UMC in Clay County, KY Feb. 22-24. He may be able to have others join his group. Contact him at 931-237-2355 for more information.
