Even as Easter Services will lift spirits, our teams will also put in time lifting debris, cutting trees, and serving meals. Paul Givens, Murfreesboro District Disaster Coordinator, expects they will wrap up cutting in one neighborhood today and then assess the remaining need in the 3 other major impact areas. Based on that assessment, we will decide if or when we call in 3 more teams we have on standby. We've had offer of help from many of our sister conferences in the Southeastern Jurisdiction if or when they are needed. It's good to have such great neighbors!
Jason Brock, Conference Disaster Coordinator, will be continuing to follow up with the District Office and pastors in the affected area, especially focusing on the unique spiritual and emotional needs the community will face in the next 3 to 9 months. Also important, will be having the local churches connected to whatever community long term recovery effort develops, as well as, filling in the gaps of more immediate unmet needs.
