 Join Lutheran Hour Ministries (LHM) and Lutheran Disaster Response (LDR) in Metairie, Louisiana, Sept. 6-10 or Oct. 4-8 to help with ongoing hurricane relief efforts. Thirty volunteers will perform a variety of jobs, including removing trees and cleaning up fallen limbs, trash, and old drywall, installing drywall, painting, and doing electrical and plumbing work.
LHM is calling for volunteers, especially those skilled in electrical work, plumbing, carpentry, roofing, and drywall. The work is physically demanding, so those who volunteer should be in good physical condition and be able to work full eight-hour days.
Each team will be staying at an LDR base camp located at Atonement Lutheran Church in Metairie. Breakfast and dinner are provided on weekdays and breakfast is provided on weekends. Volunteers are responsible for all other meals.
LDR does not charge for food and lodging, but a $10 per day ($40 total) donation is suggested. Volunteers are responsible for their transportation to and from Metairie and while in Metairie. All volunteers should be at base camp by 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The two trips scheduled are four-day trips over a weekend so that volunteers can take minimal time off work or school.
Please encourage your congregation members or students to join us in sharing Christ’s love with hurricane victims through service. For more information or to sign up, call Jeanne Lawrence from LHM’s International Volunteer Services department at 1-800-944-3450, ext. 4168.

You may either click here or on the “Watch Highlights from the 2006 Int’l LLL Convention” button on the right navigation bar of the Lutheran Hour Ministries Web site’s home page to view the webcast of these events. The archived events will be available on the site for at least 30 days.
A webcast uses the Internet to broadcast live or delayed video and audio transmissions, much like traditional television broadcasts, but at a significantly reduced cost to Lutheran Hour Ministries. Except for computer equipment and an Internet connection, there are no costs to the viewer, although the viewer may need to install special software. Experts recommend either a high-speed cable modem or a DSL phone connection for best results.
Lutheran Hour Ministries is a Christian outreach ministry supporting churches worldwide in its mission of Bringing Christ to the Nations—and the Nations to the Church.
