CERT Training Starting

Dear Saints,

Janelle Bird, who is Administrative Specialist for the Independence Fire Department, sent me information about the next CERT(Community Emergency Response Team) training sessions starting January 3rd. I highly recommend and encourage all to take this course, so more people are prepared for emergencies, which can happen any day at any time, small and big.

I completed the course last September at Bruce’s insistence. Very worthwhile, life changing, humbling. It is sobering to face the hard fact that I was NOT prepared at all to handle any emergency. Just taking the course helped prepare me for “what ifs”. It also gave me a lot of hope to know that Independence has had CERT in place for several years, an organization that is ready to meet crises when they occur. CERT members were on the scene within in an hour after the tornado hit Oak Grove last spring. I can’t say enough about CERT and the training they provide. I’m so grateful we have them. And Janelle, one of our own Restoration believers, is a key player in the effort.

You can call the CERT office to sign up for the weekly classes at: 816-325-7168

And you can reach Janelle with any questions at: jbird@indepmo.org

Don’t put it off.

Always at your and God’s service,
Muriel Luedeman
