Brothers and Sisters,
As you know last year we added “1000 Boots” to our mission efforts to help our friends in Galveston Recover, Restore and Rebuild from Hurricane IKE. We worked on 10 homes, 3 churches, the Galveston Food Bank and many other projects in the Galveston and Texas City areas. The Texas Conference Disaster Recovery Team has completed the restoration of over 100 houses and helped families move back into their homes and begin rebuilding their lives. That is great news coming out of the Conference office but there is still a lot of work to be done which isn’t getting as much attention. There are over 1,000 homes that are in the Conference pipeline to be worked on and restored.
1000 Boots is headed back to Galveston again from August 7 through August 14 and we need your participation. We will be working once again on homes and other projects just like last year. We will be installing flooring, sheetrock, painting, plumbing, cleanup, teardown, and most anything else the Conference will find for us to do. You can also sign up for Hospitality and as always all of you good cooks can bake cookies and bring them up to the church kitchen to store until we need them. This year we are doing a special project for families with young children. On Sunday, August 8 all of the children’s Sunday School classes will be bagging beans and rice for the Food Bank. We will have T-shirts for them and parents of these children are invited to participate as well. Also on each of the Sundays (August 8 and August 15) we will be having a food drive for the Galveston Food Bank so start shopping and bring your canned good and non-perishable items to the church during Boots Week and drop them off in the bins in Friendship Court.
There is work and fun for every one and I hope you will join MDUMC and other churches in this faithful effort of loving God and loving neighbor. You can signup in Friendship Court or online at MDUMCResponse.com. Donations and love offerings are always welcome to help offset the cost of our materials we will use during our work efforts.
If you have any questions please stop by the 1000 Boots table in Friendship Court on Sunday or email me at mdumcresponse@gmail.com.
If you have a t-shirt from last year start wearing them on Sunday to help us promote this year’s Boots Week.
Blessings and prayers and thanks to each of you for all you do for God’s Kingdom.
