LERT Deployment, Chainsaw Work and Church Cleanup, First Lutheran, Natchez MS, 10-10 thru 10-11, 2025

Description

Attention LERT trained chainsaw operators and those who have carpentry skills.

Pastor Ed Brashier with Shepherd's Heart Ministries will lead at least a two-day deployment to First Lutheran Church in Natchez, Mississippi.

Assignments for the deployment will include cutting down and removing an XL Tree in the front yard. (Trunk is at least 48 in. X 50 ft)

The driveway to the church has overgrown bushes on each side that need to be trimmed.

We will also tackle some low-hanging limbs at the driveway entrance.  This will take place on the property of First Lutheran, 70 Sgt. S. Prentiss Dr. Natchez, MS 3912

If we have the time and enough volunteers, there are two small rooms behind the altar where the tile is broken, and the floor feels unstable. We’re hoping someone with flooring experience can join us—either to make the repairs if possible, or at least assess the damage so we can plan a follow-up workday if needed. If you have those skills, your help would be greatly appreciated.

The Schedule: Deployment work days are set for Oct. 10 & 11. You may arrive on Thursday, Oct. 9. Work Friday, Oct. 10, as long as we can and maybe 4 to 8 hours Saturday, Oct. 11. Optional: Saturday afternoon, Oct. 11, enjoy historic Natchez, MS. Optional: Sunday, Oct. 12, worship at First Lutheran.

Housing, meals, and showers are provided.
Bring PPE, an Air Mattress, and Toiletries.
Background check required.

LERT Team leaders, or individuals, please contact Pastor Ed Brashier at 205-296-3714.
