LCC Disaster Response

There have already been multiple long-track and catastrophic tornadoes in Alabama and surrounding southern states.  These have caused major damage, loss of life, and multiple injuries to people. Strong storms and tornadoes are predicted to continue in many southern states until the early morning hours.

Illinois and Indiana will also begin to experience wind gusts from 40-65 mph during the night, depending on location. If you see or hear of damage in your area, please let Jim and Deb Long know so LCC Disaster Response can assess if necessary. There is a chain gang that works on downed trees/branches. And they help with house flooding. 
They also have training available in Wisconsin, but also available online.  The Longs took the training last Sept in Elburn. It is a great bunch of people to work with. If anyone at Trinity is interested in getting involved or forming a group, please contact the Longs or Marna Rundgren.

We are excited that we are praying for our Trinity Family, especially during this difficult time when we aren't together as much as we'd like.  Lent may be over, but don't forget to celebrate the Good News of Jesus and continue praying for your Trinity Family.  If you did not receive a postcard, please contact Margaret ASAP (margaret@trinityvp.com) and confirm your contact information.
