Out Reach Help Needed

Someday I would like to see Praise Community Fellowship be recognized as the most loving, caring, compassionate and giving church in the U.S. (OWHG Dream)


Three weeks ago a fire in East St Louis
destroyed a home occupied by 4 children and four adults.  Alexander
Johnson, age 16, perished in the fire. All others, including a 2 week
old, 1 year and 6 year old, managed to escape but all of their
clothing, furniture and worldly possessions were lost.  Through a
chain of concerned folks beginning with the SIUE  Charter High School
Principal and reaching to the Raise The Praise Choir through Kim Derr,
PCF members and friends have been helping with donations of funds,
clothing and household items. One of the choir members has taken the
lead in coordinating with the families affected as well as
organizations in the East St Louis area who are assisting the
families.  It has been a blessing to all those involved.  Our lead
coordinator is asking for a co-coordinator who can make things happen
in his absence during the Spring while he is away.  Once the two
families have housing there will be requirements to gather those items
of furniture that have been identified and deliver them.  Most of the
coordinatoin is being done via email and phone so both capabilites are
essential.

Anyone who would like to give of their time and talent in this way can
contact Dave Archer at 618-791-9984 or dave.m.archer@gmail.com.
Thanks
