Many thanks to the congregations and individuals who have put together Emergency Clean-up Kits and brought them to the Festival of Sharing warehouse.  The Festival of Sharing was able to respond to Church World Service’s request for Emergency Clean-up Buckets last week in response to hurricane Gustav.  500 buckets were shipped to Hammond, Louisiana.  Warehouses need to be refilled so that CWS is ready to respond to future disasters, a list of kit contents can be found at www.umocm.com/festival.  Kits may be delivered to the Festival of Sharing in Sedalia on Saturday, Oct 18, 2008.  Contact Terri Williams at festival@socket.net or 573-474-3332, if you have questions.
