...a faith based organization of the United Methodist Church, helping families recover from Hurricane Rita.

We are privileged to have the opportunity to serve our great God by being volunteers in mission.  Our primary purpose as volunteers is to radiate the love of Jesus Christ.  We are to invest ourselves in the mission and honor God in all we do.

We will need to be flexible, adaptable, sensitive, and patient.  There will be times when we may want to hurry and get things done but delays happen.  We will make the best of the quiet time to rest, get acquainted, and play with the children.

Cooperation is the key.  We will need to cooperate with varied persons and conditions...Smile, a happy, positive attitude will go a long way, especially on hot, muggy days.

On-Site Guidelines:

 

No alcohol, drugs, or other illegal substances.
Refer to leader an changes, suggestions, or concerns.
Work to acceptable standards.  Do the best you can-if not better!!!!
Ask questions if you don't know how or what to do next.  Remember there is no such thing as a dumb question.
Wear modest clothing-shoulders covered and loose fitting shorts that are long enough-sensible, safe shoes.
Use sunscreen lotion or oil for outside work or play.
Foul or undesirable language is not permitted.
Keep workspace and living space neat and clean.
Don't criticize, gossip, or start rumors.
 
Be careful when out and about in the evening...use the buddy or triad system.  Have fun and spread the word.
