The Calvary Chapel is a worldwide nondenominational organization of about 1000 Christian churches. A group from that organization consisting of 30 workers, drove in a caravan to Ocean Grove for ten hours in order to help with the recovery here and in surrounding towns. We found them working in a cold rain today in Firemen’s Park, cutting up fallen trees, as the nor’easter was beginning to show up at the shore.
They were fully equipped with five trucks, slickers, chain saws and other equipment. They are very self sufficient—even cook their own food. The Camp Meeting Association is putting them up in Grove Hall, and the Calvary Chapel organization from Old Bridge is using the Youth Temple as a staging area. Workers from Texas and Illinois are also here, and they have divided into seven crews, working in various locations around town.
Despite the awful weather, they seemed cheerful, strong and enthusiastic. It is quite an amazing sight.
