We now have a Mission/Disaster Response Trailer and it is well on its way to being stocked with the necessary tools and equipment and ready for action. The next step is to form a Disaster Response Team.

As all of you who went to Casowasco for our big weekend saw, we have a nice new trailer with our United Methodist cross and flame logo on it. It was also pictured in the July 2006 issue of NCNY MensNews. We had the opportunity to use the trailer for the first time at Casowasco when it was loaded with lumber to make handicap ramps. Working alongside the Scouts making these ramps for needy families was indeed a delightful experience.

We now would like to get a UMM Team started and ready to roll when a disaster hits. We would like to gather the names and contact information of the men (and women) who would like to be a part of this team. If we can get a list of 30 or more interested people, then when a need arises we would hope to be able to form a team of about 12-15.

In Matthew 20:28 Jesus says, "just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as ransom for many."

The disasters do not stop! The need will always be there.
Are YOU ready to serve???

I slept and dreamt that LIFE was JOY
I awoke and saw that LIFE was SERVICE
I acted and behold SERVICE was JOY
