A Three Day Blitz

BIBLE CENTER CHURCH RELIEF UPDATE ~ September 8, 2005

THE KATRINA RELIEF OFFERING
We have sent two checks totaling $82,568.77 to the disaster relief fund of the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. As the third largest relief organization in the U.S., they work with the two largest, the Red Cross and the Salvation Army, to coordinate the provision of and distribution of food and relief supplies to those devastated by Hurricane Katrina. We thank God for using the entire Bible Center Family and Friends for His glory!

RELIEF ITEMS FOR PIKE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI
The three truckloads of relief items we gathered for Mississippi have arrived and have been distributed. As you read this update, victims of the hurricane are using those supplies. Their response to our help has been emotional and overwhelming.

We will continue to collect more items in a tractor-trailer that has arrived at Bible Center and is parked in our front parking lot along Corridor G. We will continue to collect non-perishable food, diapers (smaller and larger sizes are especially needed), and baby formula. Some personal toiletries are needed, but THE MAIN NEED IS NON-PERISHABLE FOOD. Items can be dropped off Thursday between noon and 8:00 PM and Friday and Saturday from 9:00 AM until 8:00 PM.

The supplies are needed in Mississippi now—tell others in the community that they, too, can join in our effort.

Your continued help is greatly appreciated
