New church engagement tour dates
Want to learn simple ways that you can be God’s Hands and Feet in the next disaster? Or how you and your congregation can get involved with the development of the Presbytery’s community-centered disaster preparedness initiative?
PSL Flood Recovery staff has launched a church engagement tour, answering these questions and more. Please join us at our upcoming dates:
-
Saturday, June 29, at St. Andrew Presbyterian* in Lake Charles, 1 p.m.
-
Sunday, June 30, at Raceland Presbyterian Church, 10:30 a.m.
*The Saturday St. Andrew Presbyterian presentation will be a special opportunity for all Western Cluster churches to learn about disaster preparedness! We hope to see as many of you there as can attend!

Request from the Alliance for Affordable Energy
The Alliance for Affordable Energy of Louisiana is looking to survey faith based communities that may be getting hit hard with requests for energy bill assistance. This is the blurb they have at the beginning of the survey.
Louisiana uses 30% more electricity per household than the average American and many families struggle to keep the lights on. This survey is intended to gather information about the support Louisianians are receiving from places of worship. We are interested in better understanding the scope of the support and to find ways to coordinate efforts to reduce family cost burdens. Once this information is collected a report will be produced and presented at the September 2019 meeting of the Interchurch Conference. Personal information collected is protected and will not be shared with any third parties.
