Disasters like tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods can have devastating effects on communities. It is better to prepare and train now than to try to receive training in the midst of the disaster. Trinity Lutheran Church, Hoffman, and St. Peter Lutheran Church, Campbell Hill, will host Lutheran Early Response Team (LERT) trainings. The training will allow you to volunteer and to serve those affected by a disaster.  This training is part of the Synod-wide disaster response program, facilitated by a national network of District Disaster Response Teams.

This training will help you focus on the most important things to remember as you prepare for or respond to a disaster in your community or beyond. At the center of our LERT volunteer training is one thing: MERCY! Christ’s mercy is the basis for everything we say and do. This training event will equip you to be an effective volunteer should a disaster strike your community.
