Buy a tarp!

Hey everybody,

I know that our thoughts in recent weeks has been on the people of the Gulf who have suffered losses during Hurricane Gustav, and now it is looking like Ike may become an issue by the weekend for them. It was reported today that some parts of Louisiana could be without power for 4-6 weeks...maybe more with the possibility of Ike hitting the same area.

Healing Place church in Baton Rouge, LA is a church that Seacoast is very close with and they are right in the thick of assisting people in need after the storm. Pastor Dino Rizzo, who you may remember from our "One Prayer" series is Pastor at Healing Place and says that one of the best ways people can help is to send roof tarps. Please check out this video with Pastor Dino. http://vimeo.com/1689234?pg=embed&sec=1689234

As a church I want to ask you to donate the money for us to send some tarps down to Healing Place Church so that they can distribute them. I am asking that you let me know via email, or a phone call that you are willing to donate to this cause. The number of you that respond will dictate how many we can order, but the average cost per tarp is somewhere around $10-$14. If you can donate 1 or 21, please let us know by the end of the day on Wednesday and we will take care of ordering them and having them shipped to HPC. You can bring your cash or check made out to Seacoast Church (tarp) on Wednesday evening and/or Sunday morning.

Thanks for making a difference, and continue to pray for the Gulf region.
