Mission The Fix-It Team is at it again. A small team of women and men has formed to tackle home repair projects for church members and non-members who have no other means to get the work done. This February they made a wheelchair ramp for a woman who broke her hip (pictured above). Please contact Ed Jones at edjones1221@gmail.com or 743-0986 to offer your assistance or to let us know of someone who could use their help.
A new way we're excited to be in ministry with our Latino neighbors is a new course in English as a Second Language (ESL). We meet each Thursday from 6:00-9:00 PM. A meal, childcare and English-Spanish books will be provided. This program is FREE for everyone. We continue to share a time of informal conversation on Thursday mornings at the Exxon entitled "Biscuits and English."
We're adding a second day of Day Laborer Lunches during the winter months. We now need volunteers both on Monday and Thursday mornings from 10-11:30. Whether you can only help once or every week, we'd love to have you join us. Please stop by and lend a hand. Contact Ed Morse at gbear@tulane.edu or 743-9119 for more info about any of our ministries with our Latino neighbors.
Twelve team members returned on January 14 from a week of home repair in Eastern NC. Our next trip is scheduled for the week beginning Sunday, March 25. Contact Bill and Pat Tyler to find out more at billandpattyler@frontier.com or 828 506-6170.
