Men, Women, and Children over the age of 14
to help in High River with the clean up efforts. The effects of the
recent flooding has been devastating on that community and our
Preisthood Leaders are appealing to all of us for help! Our Bishop has
reminded us that the need is high and will remain that way for some
time, and that this is an opportunity for us to consecrate our time and
our talents in the rescue effort!
Shifts have been established, and groups of members
are leaving daily from the West Stake Centre to help transport any and
all willing workers. Our Stake Leaders need to know a total number each
day of who has volunteered to help for the following day. If
you or your family members feel that you can help, please contact John
Hardy (coordinator for our ward) to be put on that list, AND to find out
what to bring! Of course, our Bishop and other Priesthood
Leaders are standing by and ready to give you any help/information that
you might need in regards to this as well.
We
are asking that you please read the following letter from the Stake and
then be sure to notify those that you Visit Teach, asking them to do
the same.
We want to thank you for all the
good things you do, and for your willingness to help those in need.
Please keep these people in the High River area in your prayers!!!
Letter from the Stake Presidency RE: High River Flood Relief
Dear members of the Cardston West Stake:
As
you are no doubt aware, some areas of our Province recently experienced
a devastating flood. Many of our members, and their neighbors, were
forced to evacuate their homes. As they have now been allowed back into
their homes, the extent of the damage is enormous.
We have been asked by our priesthood
leaders to help in the rescue of these people. They need help now. We
need volunteers each day of this coming week to go to High River and
help with the clea
