Chain Saw Training The Disaster Care Ministry at Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church in Arlington, TX will hold a training session for anyone who wishes to be trained in “Basic Introduction to Chainsaw Safety and Operation.� Those trained may be deployed in the event of a natural disaster in our District, even our nation if needed and available. LERT members are required to be trained before responding. The goal is to train at least 21 people. Anyone 16 years of age or older who wants to be part of a Chainsaw Team Member needs to attend the 3-hour classroom session on Friday night, Sept 22 at Beautiful Savior from 7 to 10 PM, with registration and a meal from 6-7. Anyone 19 years of age or older who wants to be certified as a Chainsaw Operator MUST ALSO attend a 3-hour hands-on training session on Saturday, Sept 23. Saturday's hands-on session will divide the group into 3 training times: 8-11, 112, or 2-5, and will happen at Beautiful Savior. All attendees are required to wear steel-toed boots. Bring your chainsaw if you own one. Safety equipment such as chaps, hardhats, safety glasses, work gloves and steel-toed overshoes will be provided. The Training will be led by Pastor Ed Brashier, Southern District Disaster Response Coordinator. He is a second career pastor who was a power company lineman and tree surgeon for over 20 years before answering the Call to pastoral ministry.
