Hurricane Florence Relief Efforts

Southview Family & Friends,
Below are a few important announcements regarding church activities and organized relief efforts within our church family and community:
* The Baptist State Convention of Alabama has graciously sent disaster relief and recovery assistance to our area, and we are hosting them at our facility. They are helping in two ways: (a) meal preparation in conjunction with the Red Cross and (b) disaster recovery efforts in the community.

* There is an immediate and ongoing need for food service volunteers beginning tomorrow, Thursday, Spetember 20, during lunch and dinner hours to assist in the distribution of meals on site at the church. Please click here to volunteer.
* If you know of someone in need of assistance in recovery efforts with their home, please contact 910-374-8926.
* We have a supply of quick preparation meals for families in need until they run out - one unit per family.
* We have a limited supply of buckets for cleaning efforts.
* There is a open information & safety meeting for church members and attenders interested in helping with disaster recovery efforts this Friday, September 21, at 7:00pm in the church sanctuary.
* Our normal Sunday schedule will resume this Sunday with the exception of the college group who will meet at 11:00am in the student lounge instead of 9:30am.
* Be mindful that our parking situation will be slightly different due to the presence of disaster relief and recovery efforts.

We look forward to seeing you all this Friday night and on Sunday,
Southview leadership & staff

Southview Family & Friends,

With the impending hurricane approaching (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/#Florence) and its increased strength and speed, church leadership would like to convey our heart-felt desire for all to make appropriate and wise plans whether you choose to evacuate or to stay. In this same manner, leadership deems it wisest to announce the following:

Wednesday evening activities are cancelled for 9/12/18 – Given the Cumberland County 5pm curfew and potential beginning timeframe for high wind Wednesday night to early Thursday, wisdom would lend itself to making certain everyone’s homes and families are prepared.
Sunday morning services on 9/16/18 are also cancelled due to the increasing chances of dangerous conditions and their potential aftermath. The morning baptisms are being rescheduled just in case. Also, the Student Ministry Parents’ Mixer will be postponed.
The city of Fayetteville has set up a webpage for storm related information -

Local Shelters – A list of local area shelters has been announced. Click here for a list of shelters!.
Southview Facilities - Please note that our church is not equipped to be a shelter during the storm; as a church family we will do our best to be a secondary resource in the aftermath of the storm.
Check on each other – Please take the next days to check on the families and friends closest to you in the church as you may be able to assist them. Pray for each other, your neighbors, your local government leaders, our first responders.
The church offices will close Wednesday afternoon and will reopen as is possible.

Praying for your safety,
Southview Baptist Church leadership & staff
