More help!

Five members of Bethlehem Lutheran in St. Paul, including their pastors, spent Wednesday, August 29 in Stockton. They continued the work done by the last team, including spending more time on Helen's house and doing another mold remediation in the parsonage.

I (Vicki) spent the day visiting church families with Pastor Krusemark to get to know the congregation a little better and to find out who else needs help. Among the people I met was Betty, who witnessed the death of two people in the swollen flood waters just across the road from her house and I spent a little more time with Helen and Margo.

On Friday, August 31, two electricians who are members of Our Savior Excelsior worked in the parsonage and church. They will return next week to, hopefully, get the parsonage electricity back to where Pastor Krusemark and his wife will be able to move back in.

If you're getting the idea this is a cooperative effort made up of many church bodies and many people, you are so right. Isn't it great when God is able to break down our reserve and put us to work with brothers and sisters to his glory? We have also been talking to Our Savior Eyota, Bethel St. Paul, Concordia University, Risen Christ, Mt. Olive Anoka and Our Savior Rosemount and I anticipate we will see others from these congregations join us in the very near future.
