LERT (Lutheran Early Response Team) Training Event, for new or renewing/reviewing volunteer certification. Enables volunteers to be received at disaster clean-up sites. Prepares groups to serve on a local team that stands ready to respond when disasters happen and where victims of storm damage need assistance. This event serves to fill a gap in the LERT teams needed, specifically in the Festus/Crystal City area and the surrounding counties of the Missouri District.

Doors open at 8:30 a.m., and coffee and juice will be available. Class starts at 9:00 am and runs until noon. Everyone is encouraged to remain after class for lunch and fellowship, which Immanuel will provide.
Please send registration fees to "Immanuel Lutheran Church, 221 Brierton Lane, Festus, MO 63028. Please write LERT in the memo and on the envelope."
