“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”     (Gal. 6:2  NIV)

 

Two van loads of our Hollins Road men will leave from the church on Saturday, October 10th, and travel to Hammond, Indiana.  We will spend that next week working on disaster projects in this urban area of the northwest corner of Indiana.  The area, just west of Gary, was hit by a devastating storm caused by the remnants of Hurricane Ike last September.  Floods damaged many homes and businesses and closed parts of I-80/94 for days.  In the wake of the storm it was estimated that 17,000 residences were affected.  Some homes received a lot of water damage and some only a bit.  With nearly 900 homes in this lower income area still in need of assistance, Brethren Disaster Ministries has been assigned 30 homes for repair and is scheduling work as quickly as volunteers arrive.   The work is typical of flood related repairs: insulation, dry wall, floor replacement, siding, carpentry, etc.

 Brethren Disaster Ministries, a ministry of the national Church of the Brethren, depends upon volunteers from its 23 Districts.  Each District has an appointed Disaster Coordinator who issues district-wide appeals  for volunteers as the need arises.  Volunteers are then assigned to specific projects that are overseen by disaster project leaders.   Brother Wayne Garst is the coordinator for the Virlina District and Brother Wayne Bailey serves as our coordinator here at Hollins Road.  Once we arrive in Hammond our project leaders will be Brothers Charles Snyder and Tom Sheen & Sister Nancy Sheen.  All of these positions are filled on a volunteer basis.

 Our denomination, as well as the Hollins Roads Church, has become known for providing capable, caring, and hard working men and women who go to areas where hope has been lost.  Over the decades Brethren Disaster Ministries has diligently responded to hundreds of disasters, helped countless survivors, and engaged thousands of volunteers.  Our Hollins Road volunteers continue this mission today.

Our Men’s Fellowship and the generous gifts of our members should cover all expenses for the travel to and from Hammond.  We are grateful for the men who work so hard through out the year to make sure these funds are available. Please continue to pray for those who go and those whom we will serve in the Hammond community.

 With Love & Blessings,

 

 Pastor Horace

 Chalmette is in St. Bernard Parish. Katrina caused levee failures, resulting in 6-20 feet of water inundating homes throughout the parish. Over 200 parish residents lost their lives, and every home was officially declared “uninhabitable.”
 
The volunteers from HRCB were able to provide help for electrical/ plumbing work, painting, floor laying, window framing, and digging ditches, along with cooking meals for the group.  In addition, one volunteer was able to befriend a chicken.
 
Thanks for all the dedicated men and women; who gave their time and talents to help rebuild Chalmette, Louisiana!

The HRCOB Men’s Fellowship group just completed its second house framing for L& L development.  Under the directions of Jay Light, the men spent the better part of a week working towards funding future projects.  This funding will be used for the less fortunate, in addition to own church projects.  On behalf of the many that are blessed, by your talents and hard work, we thank you.  Jay would like to thank all the men for their friendship and help.

Message from the Moderator

This is a very special, historic Annual Conference, as we
gather to celebrate the 300th Anniversary of the Brethren movement.
I look forward to how the Lord will work among us. I am
so very grateful for the brotherly/sisterly love and prayer support
I have experienced from across the spectrum of the Brethren, and
I pray that we will continue to work at discerning how we can all
follow Jesus together. Surrendering to God as individuals and as a church will
be required so that Christ can transform us to become what God needs us to be and that the
Holy Spirit may fully launch us to faithfully follow Jesus into our fourth century as a Body
of Christ.

This years Vacation Bible School was the week of July 7th – 11th.  The kids had a blast…making new friends, amazing crafts, mind-blowing Bible adventures, hyper speed games and incredible music.  The kids discovered Jesus’s miraculous power through Group’s “Power Lab“, while learning the following Bible points each night.  

  • Jesus gives us the power to “Be Thankful”
  • Jesus gives us to power to “Help Others”
  • Jesus gives us the power to “Be Brave”
  • Jesus gives us the power to “Live Forever”
  • Jesus gives us the power to “Tell Others About God”

 Thanks to Kim for heading up and those who helped in order to make this years VBS a success.
