A Basic Lutheran Early Response Team (LERT) training class will be held at Grace Lutheran Church from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm on Saturday, August 12, 2023. Participants will be introduced to the LCMS Disaster Response program and will learn the basic nature of disasters, discover the opportunities to respond to personal needs, and find out how Lutherans can support families, congregations, and the public as the hands and feet of Jesus during a disaster. Click here to learn more about LERT and to create a volunteer profile in order to sign-up for the LERT training. We are in the Southern LCMS district. Once you have created a LERT volunteer profile, you can register for the August 12 LERT training. LERT discourages walk-up participants, because materials must be ordered in advance.
