Updated Friday, June 27.
Cedar Rapids is experiencing the impact of unprecedented flooding. While our facility is outside of the flood zone, we know that many of our members, friends and neighbors are affected.
For assistance, please contact your deacon or the church office (365-9115).
Disaster Relief:
We are hosting Southern Baptist Disaster Relief Teams from several states, including Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas and South Carolina. We thank God for these teams of Christian volunteers:
- A meal preparation team (preparing thousands of meals daily)
- A shower unit
- A mud-out assessment team
- Mud-out teams
- Chaplains
If you need assistance with tear-out or cleanup, a mud-out team may be able to help. Come to the church to visit with the assessment team and learn what assistance may be available.
Schedule:
Our regular Sunday and Wednesday events will continue as scheduled. Please plan to attend!
Portions of our campus are being actively used by disaster relief personnel, so your normal Bible study classroom may be used for another purpose. Please use the front entrance.
Parking:
Due to the ongoing disaster relief effort taking place at our church facility, parking in our parking lot is very limited.
Handicap parking spaces are available.
A limited amount of parking spaces are available on dry, grassy areas. (Please avoid parking on the grass if it isn't dry.)
General parking for Sunday is available at Teahen Funeral Home, 3100 F Avenue NW, which is further down F Avenue toward Edgewood Road from the church facility. The church van will be used to shuttle back and forth from the church and funeral home between 8:30 AM and 12:15 PM, and again from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM. Unless you have special needs, please use the alternate parking location at Teahen Funeral Home.
Volunteer Needs:
A disaster relief team from Texas and Red Cross volunteers are providing
food distribution to those in need. Meals are being prepared on-site by
the Texas team and delivered to affected areas by the Red Cross.
Carry-out meals are also available on site for those affected by the
flood. Approximately 13,000 meals were served on Saturday. Our church family is invited to help with this significant effort.
4-5 volunteers are needed to assist with food preparation. The morning shift is 7 to 10. The afternoon shift is from 12:30 to 3:30.
3-4 volunteers are needed to assist with walk-in traffic during the lunch and dinner hours.
3-4 volunteers are needed to assist with washing food containers throughout the day.
Contact the church office (365-9115) to volunteer.
