Basic Lutheran Early Response Team (LERT) will take place on Saturday, April 6, 2024 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at Faith Lutheran Church, 405 Sheila Dr., Hopkinsville, KY. Participants will be introduced to the LCMS Disaster Response program, learn the basic nature of disasters, the opportunities to respond to personal needs of the victims and how Lutherans can support families, congregations and their communities as the hands and feet of Jesus.
In the aftermath of a disaster, its crucial to stay focused on the task at hand which is the person who has sustained a tremendous loss of life, home, vehicles, and loss of hope; LERT training will have you focused on MERCY. How we act or react sets the platform on what these hurting people see in us; with all the devastation around you, it is imperative you focus on the person. The training will equip you to be an effective volunteer. Basic LERT training is mandatory for all volunteers.
The class size - 20; lunch provided; class fee - $15.00 (covers cost of Manual, ID card, and T-shirt). Cash in the appropriate amount and checks made payable to Faith Lutheran Church (memo line - LERT training) will be accepted.
