Wednesday- open as-needed-only, please call ahead to schedule an appointment. 936-327-5624
Thursday/Friday-
Closed.
*We are planning for
corporate worship on Sunday, August 30, 9:30am, Lord willing. Watch for updates on our Facebook page (facebook.com/cbclivingston) and here on our website.
Please pray with us
for the protection of all in the path of the storm and for our many linemen and
First Responders.
Please see the following update from the Polk County Center of Hope:
“While there are
still many unknowns with the pending storm, the Center of Hope wants you to
know that we are implementing our disaster response plans to allow us to: 1)
accept your donations (food, supplies, dollars); 2) distribute collected
food/materials to survivors/areas in need; and 3) organize volunteers to
include teams to assist with mucking of homes if needed (more info on this
below).
HOT! IMMEDIATE
REQUEST FOR THE COMMUNITY:
Muck teams “all hands on deck!” Center of Hope and
Livingston Habitat for Humanity will be organizing muck teams to respond to the
needs of survivors. We need churches and private organizations that have the
ability/desire to form muck teams to do so now in advance of the storm. At a
later time we will publish guidance for teams on where to report, what to
bring, etc. Per County, individuals will NOT be permitted into affected areas
without clearance/passes and teams must be coordinated through the Center of
Hope to gain vehicle passes allowing area access. So it is critical that
volunteer response teams coordinate through the Center of Hope. We will be
publishing team meeting times, conducting safety/orientation briefings, and
dispatching volunteer muck teams at daily morning team rallies at Center of
Hope. More information will follow on times, equipment needs, etc. For now, the
request is FORM YOUR TEAMS NOW and be prepared to report when needed.
If you need more
information on Center of Hope services or have questions on muck/volunteering,
call Center of Hope at 936-327-7634.”
Please contact us via FB Messenger or our website with any questions. Know that we are praying for each of you; may God be glorified during this difficult time!
