notes: On Sunday, April 15, the Presbyterian Church, Bound Brook, opened its doors to area residents driven from their homes by flood waters from the massive nor’easter that hit the region. This is the second significant flood of the Raritan River in eight years. More than 100 people are currently housed at the church. According to Rev. Louis Kilgore, the church’s pastor, response to the needs of those displaced by the storm has been overwhelming: “Within hours, dozens of volunteers from the church and the community set up kitchen services and cots to feed and house evacuees. We have been amazed and blessed by the outpouring of donations of food, bedding, and toiletries.” In addition to supervising care for the physical needs of victims, Rev. Kilgore made time to perform a marriage ceremony at the church for two of the evacuees. Those wishing to help in the relief effort may send checks to the church’s office, with the donation marked “Flood Relief”.

BY HEATHER MOYER |BOUND BROOK, N.J. | April 27, 2007 The Rev. Lou Kilgore's church office is full of cots. So is the church choir room, the parlor and all of the Sunday School classrooms. More than 160 people stayed at the Bound Brook Presbyterian Church after flooding devastated the community almost two weeks ago. A few families have since moved on, but many still remain. As Kilgore gave a tour of his church Thursday, he said those still there will be the hardest to place. "They've really got no place to go," he said. The overwhelming majority of the families sheltering at the church are Hispanic from the low-income neighborhood in town. Some are undocumented. Kilgore said the families are dealing with no insurance, very little savings and a lack of affordable housing in Bound Brook. "Many in this church are wondering if they will ever go home," he said. Kilgore estimated that at least 350 housing units were destroyed by the flood. The church, he said, will help the families in any way possible to help them get their lives back together. SEE WEBSITE AT DNN FOR FULL STORY!! ----------------- -> FROM THE SITE: August 26, 2011 Dear Members and Friends of Bound Brook Presbyterian, HURRICANE has changed our plans for WORSHIP SERVICES! We encourage everyone, including children, to come to the service on Saturday afternoon at 5:00 p.m. We will provide church school. We are NOT planning services for Sunday morning. We are a secondary shelter for this flood, but depending on storm conditions, that could change. We still could end up with many people living in the PFC. If this happens, we will be sending out word for volunteers. ------------------------- On Sunday, April 15, the Presbyterian Church, Bound Brook, opened its doors to area residents driven from their homes by flood waters from the massive nor�easter that hit the region.
