Post-Ike Report from Bayou DuLarge
by The Rev'd Canon Scott Albergate
Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ:
I was finally able to make it down to Bayou du Large yesterday where I was met by about a dozen parishioners of St. Andrew's. Their spirits are high and unbroken despite water and wind damage to their church, parish hall and rectory. Many also experienced flooding to their homes and do not yet have power. This is a familiar experience for them, though their senior warden Allen Marcel said they had eight more inches of water this time than Rita.
With the dedicated assistance of the ODR team, we will help these good people come back. This weekend we will send down gift cards for Lowe's and Walmart. ODR will probably need volunteers to assist with gutting work in their church and rectory as well as the homes of parishioners. I am still in the process of compiling a list of other needs, but so far they will need new Prayer Books and Hymnals, possibly new pews, and new appliances.
Please call me if you can lend a hand in some way and I will be glad to coordinate. This is a proud and wonderful group of people who are a mainstay of their community.
Many thanks.
Scott Albergate
