Beautiful New Site for the Church of Scientology of Tampa

I just found this new site for the Tampa Church of Scientology.



The Tampa church is a very special one because they are so involved with the community and making their city a better place.

Here is an example, from the news section of their web site:

Clearwater Volunteer Ministers in Mississippi

Downtown Clearwater business owners Paris and Linda Morfopoulos decided they wanted to help the victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Though they are actively engaged in a donation collection campaign at their One Stoppe Shoppe, they wanted to do more.

They loaded up their car with supplies and headed to Baton Rouge to help.

"We initially arrived in Baton Rouge," said Paris, "but we were sent to Mississippi on a reconnaissance mission. New Orleans was getting the bulk of the media attention, but the Mississippi coast bore the brunt of the hurricane’s force."

Meeting up with members of the Georgia National Guard, Linda and Paris quickly found themselves in a Humvee with four National Guardsmen, headed for the backwoods of rural Mississippi to look for stranded families in need of food, water and medical attention.

"And that was day one," joked Paris.

The next day, the Morfopoulis’ were asked to join a National Guard relief convoy headed out to visit devastated housing complexes.

"About fifty troops, ten medics and the two of us rode in a convoy of army trucks and buses full of food and supplies to one complex after another. The troops distributed food and water, while we accompanied the medics."

They went door to door. Finding people whom the relief efforts had not yet reached, including a group of families in an apartment building who had waited out the storm.

Paris summed up her experience when she said, "We witnessed tremendous devastation and suffering, but also great moments of humanity, kindness and love. The tremendous spirit of the volunteers, the fantastic helpfulness and eager assistance of the National Guard and the strength shown by the people of Mississippi in the aftermath of this tragedy are things we won't soon forget."

Other good sites about Scientology activities in the community are the Scientology Effective Solutions web site and a site about the Scientology Volunteer Ministers community activites.
