Disaster Response & Relief
NJ District volunteers helping with Hurricane Sandy cleanup
The New Jersey District of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod is developing a state-wide Disaster Response Plan, and has established a Disaster Response Team with the Rev. Michael Dunne of Holy Spirit Lutheran Church (Montville, NJ) as the coordinator.
Assisting Rev. Dunne are Rev. Chris Schoenberg of Good Shepherd in Point Pleasant, Rev. Mark Stillman of Village Lutheran in Lanoka Harbor, Rev. Richard Vossler of Grace Lutheran in Livingston, Rev. Andrew Dinger of Holy Trinity in Somerset, Vicar Shawn Davis of Holy Trinity in Lawrenceville and Mr. David Hildebrandt of the NJ District Staff.
Recently, volunteers participated in the MERCY in Action Lutheran Early Response Training (LERT) held at Our Redeemer in Fords as part of that plan. Other basic duties of the District team include training for participating congregations, assessing congregational needs following a disaster and helping to develop a relief and recovery plan, and working to help fulfill the needs of individuals and communities as needed.
For more information, please contact the NJ District office at 908-233-8111.

Are You Prepared?
July 2017 -- Hurricane season is upon us and it is predicted to be an active one with the possibility of 11 to 17 named Atlantic storms. Download & view this presentation with some great tips on how your family can be prepared in the event of a disaster.
In the event of a catastrophic event such as a natural or man-made disaster the District's Disaster Response Team can help. A disaster doesn't have to be a catastrophic event affecting a large number of people over a large geographical area. Disasters can be personal as well. For example, if your sump pump fails and your basement floods, or a tree falls on your house, that's a disaster.
We can help! The DDRT is prepared to respond with it's new District Disaster Response Trailer. The trailer is well equipped with the necessary tools and resources along with a team that has been trained and certified to respond in the event of an disaster.
In the event of a natural, man-made, or personal disaster contact the District Disaster Response Coordinator, Rev. Michael Dunne at 973-334-0547, 260-494-8865, or send a text message, 260-402-8575
