First UMC Marion Preps to Help

FUMC, Marion did not experience any flooding. We did lose 8 member homes. We are 5 miles from Cedar Rapids, which lost 5,000 homes and 3 United Methodist Churches. Of course, area towns of Iowa City, Anamosa, Palo, Vinton, and many others are also under water.

The website, http://www.fumcmarion.org/Flood/floodhome.html lists supplies that are needed, how to register to help and other essential information

Volunteer coordinator is Pastor Melisa Bracht-Wagner who is the Associate Pastor at First UMC, Marion. You may register by email or contact the church at 319/377-4856 or the coordinator’s cell phone at 319/480-4469 to offer assistance.
