Habitat Home…..Floored
The East parking lot of FBC has been ringing with the tock, tock, tock, of hammers all morning as the “Over the Hill Gang” set to work. Outside the home we are building is taking its first baby steps toward completion, by tonight a floor will have been laid.
There are many steps to go in preparation for our first 501 work day April 10th when we will raise the walls, but it is exciting to start to see this project of sacrifice and service take shape.
The team work and selflessness of the folks we are partnering with is incredible. The “Over the Hill Gang”, a group of six retirees that know houses volunteers their time to build at least 2 days every week to prepare the home for us to do our thing on Saturdays. I had the chance to meet our crew bosses Steve, James, and Misty, who will be directing our Saturday work crews, an incredible team of folks working full time on this deal to get it done.

We still have much work to do. The floor laid and walls raised are a result of the funds we have already contributed. Let’s continue to boldly both give from what we have been blessed with and ask others to join us in giving to this effort that will literally change lives and tangibly glorify God in our city.
We are on our way!
