Feeding Disaster Victims in Bryan, TX

Saturday and Sunday A few members from the Disaster Care Ministry joined up with the folks from The Holy Cow Smokers from Lamb of God in Flower Mound and Bethel Lutheran in Bryan to feed victims of the tornado and floods that hit Bryan Texas on May 28.

We fed pulled pork sandwiches for lunch on Saturday, Sliced Brisket for dinner, and chopped brisket sandwiches for lunch on Sunday. 921 meals were served in all.

Volunteers packed the meals and took them out and distributed them in the areas that were impacted by the storms. We also delivered meals to the local fire stations that have really been taxed in the aftermath of the storms.

In Addition to meals, the workers took flood buckets (provided by the Disaster Care Ministry), Kitchen Kits (provided by Tree of Life in Garland) and Comfort Kits (provided by the Lamb of God LWML). Many of the items distributed were made possible through grants provided by the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.

We met many great people. Ross Johnson, Pam Neilsen and Peter Slayton came from Synod to help, and Steve Misch came from the Texas Distict to assist us.

A  lot of people were touched by the weekend effort and we even had a man who was Baptized on Sunday. Thank you to all the great volunteers that made this all happen.
