On Saturday, August 26, 2023, Immanuel Lutheran Church, 6325 Raleigh Lagrange Rd, Memphis, TN will host a Basic Lutheran Response Team training (LERT) at 9:00 am until approximately 2:00 pm. Participants will be introduced to the LCMS Disaster Response program, learn the basic nature of disasters, the opportunities to respond to personal needs and how Lutherans can support families, congregations, and their communities as the hands and feet of Jesus.
In the aftermath of a disaster, it's crucial to stay focused on the task at hand. The most important factor of our LERT volunteer training is MERCY! To listen, to care and comfort, to help their need, and to share the love of Jesus. The training will equip you to be an effective volunteer. Basic LERT training is mandatory for all volunteers. Registration should be completed two weeks prior to class if possible.
