PRESS RELEASE
August 1, 2008

PETERSBURG, IL --...says the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jeremiah 31:33b

"Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can." (John Wesley)

Bringing Hope to flood victims and we need your help!

We at Central Presbyterian Church (CPC) are asking you and your organization to work in partnership with us to volunteer to work at clean up and to raise funds to provide disaster assistance support in follow-up to victims of the 2008 floods. We want to bring hope to those impacted by this disaster after the media attention turns to other stories. We can do more collectively than we can individually.

We have scheduled some tentative day trips to help with the flood disaster recovery. Sign up is necessary in case of need to cancel the trip due to weather or other circumstances.

Tuesday, August 12
Wednesday, August 27
Wednesday, August 20
Saturday, August 30
Saturday, August 23

There are forms that must be completed in order for volunteers to participate as well as important information about volunteering! Contact Central Presbyterian Church at 632-2651 to get a 'volunteer packet' or check our website at http://www.central-pres.org/ .

Donations can be made payable to "CPC Disaster Assistance Bringing Hope" and can be dropped off at Central Presbyterian Church... or deposited directly into the account at The National Bank of Petersburg.

Watch for updated information in The Petersburg Observer & Menard County Review.

We hope you will take part in Bringing Hope to flood victims by volunteering to help.
