Call for Preparedness—Connecting Neighbors Ambassadors

In Mountain Sky Conference (MSC), fires and floods are becoming more common—as are severe winter weather events. Any of these can spell disaster for the people and property in its path, including church buildings and parsonages. The best way to handle ourselves in a disaster emergency is to be prepared in advance. Connecting Neighbors — “Be Prepared for Disasters” is a  program sponsored by UMCOR—includes information on how to keep ourselves and our families safe, our church buildings and property safe, and how to set our churches up in advance to assist in a disaster situation. We’re looking for a local congregation in the Denver area that would be willing to host this training and encourage their church members to participate. Read more.
