Wanna help rebuild?

The summer is wrapping up and our focus is now on the Fall. As I look over the calendar, we are moderately full through the month of October and otherwise open.

Have you considered taking a[nother] trip down to help rebuild? In many ways, the doors are just now opening for us to help homeowners rebuild. So many have been waiting for Road Home grants before they can start to put their house back together. Now that the grants are finally coming through, we are getting lots of calls for help.

Right now, the major tasks we are helping people with include:

• Hanging/Floating/Taping Sheetrock
• Painting (both interior and exterior)
• Installing Baseboards, Doorframes, etc.

One of the best things about these tasks are that you don't have to be skilled to help! If your team has 2-3 skilled persons to guide, you can get much accomplished!

The best part of it all is that now is when we are fostering meaningful relationships with the homeowners we help. Almost all of the homeowners we help at this point are people outside of our church. So many need to experience the love of Christ! Imagine spending a week with one family, hearing their story, loving on them and helping to rebuild their house. It has truly been a life-changing experience for groups this summer to help. Be a part of it!

If you are interested in coming down, please contact me at the church office by email or phone (504-362-3254). I would love to talk with you further.
