Again this year, Heartland Presbytery will be collecting Flood Buckets for use around the country in flood ravished areas. This year it is especially hard since a lot of the damage is in our own Synod and neighboring states. Please fill the buckets, from the following list, and drop them off at the presbytery office, 3210 Michigan Ave , KCMO 64109 . We have set a deadline of September 12, 2008 to accept the buckets and will be delivering them the following week to Columbia, MO. If you would like to assist with this project but don’t want to provide a bucket, monetary donations will be accepted to defray the cost of transportation to deliver the buckets. Any additional funds will be donated to the cause.

 

If you have any questions, please contact Mindy Fox, 816.924.1730, 800.332.4849 or by email nurture@heartlandpby.org .
