"Heart For the Nation" The Scot Noss Benefit Concert
CD’s are available for $10 and DVDs are available for $15.
All proceeds will be divided between The Scot Noss Fund and Augusta’s Fisher House Project.
Call or e-mail Lori Van Lenton for orders.
On February 17, 2007 in Shahjoi, Afghanistan a
United States helicopter suffered a “sudden, unexpected loss of power” and crashed killing eight and wounding fourteen American troops on board. Scot Noss, one of the survivors, suffered a severe traumatic brain injury and is currently at the VA Hospital in
Tampa, Florida .
Scot’s recovery thus far has been slow and difficult, however, through it all his amazing wife RyAnne has brought hope and comfort to friends, family, and complete strangers through her journaling on the
Caring
Bridge web site. Her entries touch on hope, faith in God, the power of prayer, and their unfailing loyalty to their country. She will be speaking at this event to members of our church, community, veterans, soldiers stationed here at Fort Gordon and the families of deployed military men and women in the area, no doubt inspiring other families who are or could be in the same situation, and people who are as of yet unable to see God’s grace and presence in their lives.
Although Scot is not a Georgia native, he is a Staff Sergeant with the 3rd/75th Ranger Battalion stationed at
Ft.
Benning . The Choir wants to help this deserving family cover expenses not covered by the Army. It is also our desire to offer help to soldiers and families in this area too. The Fisher House is a home attached to the Eisenhower Medical Center at Ft. Gordon. This home is there for the families of wounded warriors who are recovering in Augusta. The Fisher House Project would like to build a new house next to the VA Hospital in downtown Augusta. They have recieved some funding from the government, but needs to raise $1.8 million more. The Choir will be accepting a love offering at this event and will donate part to the Scot Noss Foundation and part to Augusta's Fisher House Project. Please join us for this powerful and moving program. Nursery will be available to children up to 7 years old. For more information please contact Lori Van Lenten.
