Volunteer: Local LERT Team Event, Fell/Remove Trees, Drive, Clean-up, St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Concordia MO, 2-14-2026

St. Paul’s Lutheran Early Response Team (LERT) will be hosting a one‑day Mercy Effort on February 14th to help fell and remove two trees, and volunteers are needed.

Participants should arrive with appropriate PPE, including steel‑toe boots, eye & ear protection, and chaps.  Additional protective gear will be provided on site.

Anyone operating a chainsaw or assisting directly with brush removal must have the proper certifications, and those who are chainsaw‑certified and interested in additional training will have a great opportunity to sharpen their skills.

Support is also needed to pull the dump trailer, load and unload brush, rake, and complete the final cleanup of the site.

Lunch, water, and Gatorade will be available for all helpers.

Volunteer: Local LERT Team Event, Build floor, Complete outer/inner bathroom walls, Saxon Lutheran Memorial, Frohna MO, 2-25 thru 2-28-2026

Volunteers Needed!

We’re looking for volunteers to help with several hands-on projects at the barn and new bathroom build. Tasks include moving tools and equipment out of a barn room, building a new floor, and clearing the carpentry room by packing tools and display cases into bins. We’ll also finish the outer and inner walls of the new bathroom—using sliced logs on the exterior and plywood, sheet metal, and wood strips on the interior. We’ll be slicing old logs with our Alaskan Mill and may fell one tree behind the barn if time allows.

We need volunteers to hang insulation and plywood in the new bathroom closet and, if time allows, in the four toilet rooms. All materials are on-site, and we’ll have a dump trailer and skid steer available. The remainder of the work will take place from February 25 to 28.

If time permits, we also need two experienced chainsaw volunteers to fell one tree behind the barn (PPE and chainsaws required).

Logistics:
• Meet daily at 8:00 a.m. at Saxon Lutheran Memorial, 296 Saxon Memorial Dr., Frohna, MO.
• Wear yellow LERT shirts or vests
• Dress for the weather and bring your own tools if doing carpentry
• Water and Gatorade provided; meals in progress
Housing provided: two bedrooms in a house near Frohna, plus cots in the newly restored log cabin (electricity, lights, heat). Please bring your own cot and bedding.

Questions? Contact Kris Schuldt at 314-971-5747.

We’d love to have you join us—thank you for volunteering!
