Are your lamps full of oil? Is your church prepared?
In the light of the recent disasters in New Orleans and Pakistan,
it is only a matter of basic stewardship in Christ to be prepared to care for the people of our congregations and of the city as a whole.

Disasters....that can be small (like a car accident, or a fire in your home) or big...like hurricane Katrina.  We never know when it will touch us personally.  But we do know that if we are prepared -- we will be in a much better position than if we just ignore the possibility.
