June 30 is the date for the work project at the James Sauls Homeless Shelter. We have been planning this for many months. Please pray the weather is amenable! Here is a photo of the "Before" project. Donations and supplies have been placed in the shed, but there is no order or plan at work. Christmas decorations get mixed with summer work tools, etc.
So the plan is to empty the entire shed onto tables and tarps.
The construction crew will build wooden shelves around the walls and a deck type raised shelf in the rear of the building that will hold Holiday decorations.
Our resident electrician will run electricity to the shed for an over head light that is much needed in winter!!
The rest of the crew will sort the items, place them in plastic tubs, label the tubs and hope to have it all sorted by the time the construction crew is finished. The steel cabinets will be placed down the center of the shed making for a walkway on both sides. The tubs will be placed on the shelves (pray we have plenty of those tubs!) We will clean up and be finished.
There is another yet crew who will be assembling lunch for the workers and the residents to share at the noon hour, and then staying to clean up.
Higginsport Bank has decided to donate $362.00 towards the construction costs! That is the wood, screws, etc. We will purchase a step ladder to leave in the shed so they can reach the items on the upper deck shelf. Many plastic tubs, a couple drop cloths and a few other supplies also. Beverages are covered. Lunch will be cold cuts, buns, chips and various persons will donate desserts, a fruit tray and vegetable tray.
So pray for good weather, a healthy safe service project and all to God's glory as the people of the Crossing Church and Riverhills come together for a few hours June 30 to serve the less fortunate.
Good for you. It sounds like a great project. When you're finished, maybe you could do the same for our garage ;)
