Clean a church

On Tuesday, eight Living Springs Covenant Church members will head to New Orleans to clean what used to be a church.
Hurricane Katrina wrecked the church in 2005, and the Brandon people hope to wash down the place with bleach to stop mold growth. Maybe the church can be used again.
Is the New Orleans church also a Covenant Church? Will the Brandon people be joined by any of the former church’s members, or maybe other volunteers?
I hope so, because it sounds like the building, and many others like it, still need a lot of elbow grease and loving care.
Kudos to the Brandon folks who will be heading south Tuesday. Have a safe journey and, when you return, let us know how the trip went.

The same kind of deal is going on with the Dimock church. They are heading to Mississippi to help with cleanup efforts in January/February.
When I was in New Orleans this past spring, I stopped by a Lutheran church (which is kind of rare judging by all the Baptist churches I saw). I even stayed in a hotel in Canal Street. To think of the destruction of the water this church must have been under and the helplessness of the peoples who live and attend church there…I wish I could help them out more.
