Community Services Director
June to November: A Time
to Take Precautionary Steps!
 It is now the first week in June,
and Tropical Storm Arthur has already rushed over the Yucatan Peninsula
leaving life-threatening floods in Belize and Mexico. The second named
system, Bertha, is history. As we listen to the weather reports, we must
hearken and take the appropriate steps to preserve life and property in the
event a storm/hurricane should travel the route of our beautiful land.
Our conference is well prepared to mobilize its leaders and members in the
event there is a need for service to the community. Some of our churches are
registered with NEMA as Hurricane Shelters. Our Community Service Leaders
have dedicated themselves to the service of mankind, so let us continue to
pray that they will be fortified with energy and vigor as we face these
fearful months for some in our nation. Let us be encouraged by the Word of
God that says, "He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the
finest of the wheat" (Ps.147 v. 14). Collectively, we can petition God to
grant us a peaceful season and provide for all of our needs.
