Family Promise Upate, San Diego Trip Update

Family Promise Update . . .
It has been a whirlwind of a week. Arriving back from vacation and immediately we were into cooking supper for Family Promise with our small group. Small groups are the life-blood of the church. 20+ people(kids incuded) plus seven from Family Promise made for a loud but fun evening. Jill and Theresa have secured housing and will make the move out on their own next week, stay tuned for information on their needs, while they are starting over.
Deborah the other lady in the program got a job yesterday. Deborah began a bible study with Mike Crowley last night, pray for this study to bear fruit. After the Wednesday adult she had tears streaming down her face and had a lot heart questions that need answers. God will give her answers through His people and His word.

San Diego Trip update. . .

We have contacted the Hilltop Group and let them know we are heading their way with 10-20 folks. I believe we have around 12 going on the trip. Right now the list looks like this

Aaron Scott
Justin Dawson
Lanae Kuesninger
Art Turgeon (?)
Paul Sale (?)
Buddy Gray
Sara Mando(?)
Max Allen

and a host of kids from the youth group.

From all indications the work in the area is progressing from clean-up to rebuilding. The nature of work will focus on the unisured and the underinsured property owners. We will still have cleaning work to do but we will mix in light building projects. Fence building, sheds and such as this. I have not had an update on showers yet, but I am sure something is available.
We need committments from anyone who wants to go.

Come and be the hands in this world for God and Jesus.
