Project Katrina aims to support and send volunteers from the New England states to rebuild the Gulf Coast; keep the memory of Hurricane Katrina alive; heighten public awareness of the importance of civic engagement; and renew our commitment to equality and social justice.

Dear Friends,
The need persists for volunteer work in the Gulf Coast regions impacted by the storm. As the transition is made from short-term relief and clean up to long-term rebuilding and repair, the major need is for skilled volunteers, especially those with carpentry, roofing, flooring, and electrical or plumbing experience. In Latin, compassion means “to suffer with.” Jesus enters the world to suffer with his creation in order to redeem it. As such, we follow in the footsteps of our Lord, Jesus.

We are planning another mission to New Orleans/Slidell for the fall of 2007—we need your support, your prayers, and your assistance.

With all good wishes,

Rev. Norm Bumby
