Are You Ready?

Hurricane Florence is threatening. She is gaining strength and is expected to make

landfall in the Mid-Atlantic part of the country this week. Milk is flying off the shelves and gasoline tanks are being filled. We know we should be prepared for these things, but sometimes, we don't know how.

Have you considered that being prepared is a missions opportunity? If we can make sure that our family has what it needs to shelter in place for the first 72 hours, we can focus outward. We can check on our neighbors. We can check on extended family. We can offer refuge when the storm comes. Doesn't that sound like an opportunity to serve the needs of others? This is an chance to showcase the love of Jesus and His disciples.

Here is a great post with some tips on being prepared.

On October 20, 2018, Stafford Crossing Community Church will be hosting a "Disaster Preparedness Seminar." The goal of this event is to help us develop a plan for our families, a plan for our church family, and a plan to coordinate with local agencies and meet the needs of the community in the event of a disaster.

Please consider coming. Let's all be better prepared to weather the next storm.
