Urgent need for volunteers to serve in Alaska
Ice flooding hit some villages along the Yukon River in Alaska and 40 villages have been hurt. Because of the ice, the damage to the villages is unique and the damage looks like a hurricane or tornado went through them instead of flooding. Volunteers must be 18 or older. Volunteer period starts mid-July and goes until Sept. 15 due to the weather change and lack of sun in the winter months.
Resources for Independence Day
A Service of Holy Communion, a prayer of protection for those in military service and a couple of hymns are among the resources available for the July 4 weekend.
