Friends,
WIth
39 counties declared disasters (from recent storms and flooding), it is
time for Texans to join together to help families put their homes and
lives back together. A great training opportunity is moving
across our state! Church World Service, working with its partners
in faith communities, has put together a Disaster Training
Workshop. There are 6 dates in 6 cities across Texas. Take
a moment and review the variety of trainings being offered--and then
sign up.
Peace,
Amy
