The Edmond Sun
EDMOND —
An Edmond church is planning a second event to benefit victims of the June 14 flash flooding.
John Huss, pastor of outreach and discipleship for Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 308 N.W. 164th St., said the flood is nearly three months past, but the recovery continues for those affected. They include dozens of Edmond-area families.
On Sept. 12 the church will have a community picnic event beginning at 4 p.m. There will be food, live music and games during the event at the church.
“We hope to have a great turnout from the community as we come together to support our neighbors in need,” Huss said. “All the costs are covered so 100 percent of the donations will benefit victims of the June 14 flood.”
Weather permitting the event will be outdoors most of the day. Some silent auction items will be available and freewill donations will be accepted as the church raises funds to help victims defray the cost of rebuilding homes and replacing belongings.
At 6:30 p.m. Word Records artist Remedy Drive will perform in concert. The band has appeared in concert all across the United States and in Europe.
A four-piece, four-brother band, Remedy Drive has been cranking out their own brand of music for the past five years, with their major label debut “Daylight is Coming” released in August 2008.
With a message of hope for the searching and a desire to reach beyond a static life for something bigger, Remedy Drive combines heart-on-a-sleeve sensibility with their one-of-a-kind live show.
