CrossRoads Mission has uncovered a family in Vinton who has been through a string of unbelievable difficult circumstances lately, not to mention a "flood of water" from above that has collapsed their roof on their home! An inspection by Tom Brennom of St. Mark's in Marion revealed a complete roof failure. Pastor Mark has raised in actual money or pledges of money, including a Thrivent "Care Abounds in Communities" grant, the necessary funds to buy roofing and building materials necessary to fix the house.
Pastor Dan at First Lutheran in Cedar Rapids has helped to raise funds and volunteers as well. CrossRoads has four committed volunteers as of this evening, and are looking for eight more. We need your help! We hope to remove the old roof and replace it in one day, Tuesday, September 29. Tom is also checking with a group at St. Mark's about preparing an on-site luncheon/meal and cold refreshments for the volunteers.
If you can help, please contact Pat Kane at CrossRoads Mission. His phone is 981-1273. His email is: www.crossroads-mission.com
