I hope everyone who signed up is still planning to attend this Saturday morning to help with the house we will be working on. Here is all of the info we have so far from Kami:
1. Meet at the church building at 7:15 am sharp! We will be leaving at 7:30 am regardless of who is not there. A map will be attached to the email that goes out today.
2. This Saturday, we will finish framing the house and begin to put the top-plate on as well as begin putting up the roof trusses. We also will finish finish roofing and siding 2 sheds so there will be plenty of work for the groups. We will also be present for a house dedication at noon that day! What an awesome thing to witness...
3. We will probably finish around 2 pm, but we may work longer depending on how tired work teams are.
4. If there is severe inclimate weather, we will not work on Saturday.
5. Work clothes are as follows - long pants, closed toed shoes (preferably work boots), baseball cap or hard hat, sunscreen, mosquito repellant, sunglasses or goggles (if handling power tools), hammer, measuring tape, work gloves. Please know that other people may use your personal tools. Habitat has a few tool belts, hard hats, and goggles on site, but if you have your own we ask that you bring them. We might be painting, so please wear clothes that you don't mind getting paint on.
6. Habitat has a large cooler of water on site and water bottles on site. LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED.
7. Before you begin work, you must sign the volunteer labor sheet and the insurance waiver form. If your crew members have worked at the site previously, they do not have to resign the waiver form.
The picture you see is of the lady whose house we are building. Her name is Tycie Moore and she is a single mother of a 7 year old girl. She has been living with her parents trying to support them as her father has had cancer two separate times. She, unfortunately, does not receive any child support or food stamps, so this house will be an incredible gift to help improve their life.
Any other questions - call Kami at 832-221-8172.

I didn't even know about this. How dare you go and serve people without clearing it first. We can't have that. Next thing you know, people will be out there just serving all over the place.
From (seemingly) separate parts of Southeast, I am hearing a growing interest in serving people in our surrounding community. You, our young adults, are naturally bent in that direction. To be naturally bent in the direction of Jesus - not too bad. Thanks for reminding us of this part of our mission. There are several conversations going on with "serving externally" as the focus.
This summer, one Wed eve a month is going to be service focussed. I hope you'll help us plan and carry this out.
Great job.
