Heading Down to the Gulf

At church on Wednesday night my father-in-law was asked what he was doing to assist the victims of Hurricane Katrina and the disastrous flooding that followed. He quipped that his part is a blessing because he is taking care of his two grandchildren this weekend to assist in the effort. That is because Erin has organized a group of 20-25 high school students from Prattville Christian Academy to join the Hunter Hills Youth Group to go down to Mississippi and Louisiana and assist in the clean up efforts. I will be helping her chaperone as will three or four other people from our small group. So, Maw and Paw-pah are keeping the two little ones.

Right now everything is a go, but we will only be working in Mississippi due to Hurricane Rita slicing into Louisiana. However, if Rita takes a more northern-eastern turn, we might have to cancel.

Please keep us and the grandparents in your prayers as we work this weekend.
