Guatemala Mission

Follow our week-long service trip on St. Paul’s Facebook page. We will be commissioned at the 9:30 AM service on August 9 and fly out later that day, returning on August 19.
Please keep our team in your prayers that we can bless the children and families that we interact with. Thank you to the entire congregation for supporting our fundraising efforts for this mission trip.
LERT — Lutheran Early Response Team
The Lutheran Early Response Team (LERT) ministry has grown out of the desire for LCMS volunteers from across the United States to have the training and ability to respond quickly to disasters in a coordinated and comprehensive manner.
Lutheran Early Response Teams are not ‘first responders’ and work in cooperation with local, state, and federal emergency management agencies as well as other non-governmental and faith-based organizations.
Lutheran Early Response Teams work in conjunction with, and under the direction of, the District Disaster Response Coordinator (DDRC) based upon the district’s established disaster response protocol.
LERT members are trained in basic disaster response procedures and are registered as LERT members by the District Disaster Response Team (DDRT). They agree not to function independently from the district’s guidance and direction.
LCMS World Relief and Human Care facilitate regional training for DDRCs and DDRTs and provide training materials for LERT members. Congregational LERT programs are self-supporting and self-sustaining.
For more information about St. Paul’s LERT ministry, please contact Pete Strains through the church office.
