CRWRC's Disaster Response Services (DRS) volunteers give of their time and talents to help clear debris, assess needs, and rebuild homes after disasters strike. These volunteers are affectionately known as "The Green Shirts" throughout many disaster-affected communities and are well-respected for the quality services they provide.

Sunday, March 7, 2010 is DRS Sunday! As part of this celebration, CRWRC has released a new video on DVD, Overcoming Katrina. Watch fifty-nine Green Shirts from Chicago’s Orland Park CRC build a big house for a big family left homeless by the hurricane. The DVD includes:

  • Feature: Overcoming Katrina (28:45 minutes)
  • James' Story (4:11 minutes)
  • Georgia's Story (3:35 minutes)
  • Last Nail Ceremony (5:21 minutes)
  • Overcoming Katrina Trailer (2:03 minutes)


 

You can screen the feature during worship or at a special DRS event. Show the trailer during announcements or to publicize a screening. Or, show the shorter clips during offertory.

CRWRC has also developed new DRS Sunday bulletin inserts, bulletin covers, and posters to help your church and your own Green Shirt volunteers celebrate DRS Sunday 2010.
