Redeemer Community Church Helps Organize Ike Volunteer Base Station in Galveston

Published on October 31, 2008 by Guest Author

Redeemer Ike Volunteer Galvston Base StationBy Bill Freund of Redeemer Community Church
Ever since the weekend of September 12th, when hurricane Ike hit the Texas coast and relief operations began, we’ve wanted to do more. Sure, during the week KISD had no school we took students out to help clean up yards & homes, but the damage here was minimal in comparison to those in Galveston. I’d watch the devastation on the news and think, Lord, how can we do more? This weekend, Redeemer is getting that opportunity.

On Sunday, November 2nd, instead of regular worship services, Redeemer Community Church will be serving the Lord in Galveston. As our new pastor, Mitch Maher, began emphasizing the need to engage our community more, we began to pray and look for an opportunity to help our coastal neighbors. Redeemer will be working with Good News Galveston that morning helping set up Alamo Elementary School as a volunteer base station and helping repair homes & businesses in the community.
