New Orleans bound: Eight members of the Rehoboth Congregational Church will head for New Orleans as part of a disaster relief team Jan. 6 and return home Jan. 13. They hope to take with them donated children’s books and games, and gift certificates to Home Depot, Lowe’s, Target, Sears and Walgreens. The cost to each team member for the week in New Orleans is $900. This covers airfare, vehicle rental, groceries, tools and materials which may be needed for the week’s work.

Those who would like to donate new or gently used children’s books and games, gift certificates or money toward the trip expenses can leave donations at Rehoboth Congregational Church, Locust Street, weekdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. or on Sunday mornings. Questions about donations should be directed to the Rev. Scott Spencer at (508) 252-4545. Checks to support those who are going to help Katrina victims can be made payable to Rehoboth Congregational Church and mailed to the church office at Box 325, Rehoboth.
