ClearView and 2010 Flood

This post is specifically written to and for the great folks of ClearView.

We have no way of knowing exactly how many people who are a part of ClearView have had flooding in their home or property due to the flood. We do not know to what extent they may have suffered damage. Our congregation lives in a wide geographic area in middle Tennessee. My guess is there are more who have been negatively impacted than I know.

Some of you have already asked how you can help. I love that about you! Until we get specific names and needs we can't answer that question (we already have some). One thing we know for sure is that we are here for each other and we will indeed help those who need it.

So, here are next steps and how you can help.

1. If you need help (moving furniture, pulling wet carpet, etc.) please send an email to pastor@clearview.org. In the subject line type: NEED HELP. In the body of the email please give some details of your situation that will help us know how we can help. Also please give us contact information. If you know of a ClearView member who needs help but can't contact us, please let us know.

2. If you can help please send an email to pastor@clearview.org with a subject line I CAN HELP. In the email please let us know when you might be available to help. Also please give us contact information.

We will begin to match people who need help with those who can help some time in the morning. For now, we will limit our help to physical help. We may need financial help later, but until we know what we are facing we will hold off on collecting funds.

It will take until at least late morning on Monday for us to begin to sort what we have so you won't hear from us before then.
