A thank you note

A couple of people sent me this thank you note from Habitat for Humanity, so I wanted to post it for all to read. Don't forget about our next Saturday to help on April 29. More details will come later. And is it just me or does Jason look like he has no idea what he is doing......

Dear Southeast Church of Christ Habitat Participants,

Just a quick note to say a huge thank you to all of you for the incredible work that y'all did on Saturday for Bay Area Habitat for Humanity. You all were such great workers and you all did a wonderful job framing and putting up the joists!! Another huge thank you goes out to the lunch crew from St. Christopher who provided such a delicious lunch - everyone worked so hard on Saturday and the food was really tasty!!

For those of you who took the time to come over to the 2 home dedications, I can't thank you enough. The families really appreciated all of you being there for their special moment. I'm not sure if you all know it or not, but the Padilla family (the 1st house we dedicated) has 5 children and they were living in a 2 bedroom trailer before they moved in to their home. Since the parents don't speak English, it was very difficult for them to articulate their feelings of joy. LaToya Barnes (the 2nd family) has been a single mom of 2 boys for most of her life and she never imagined being able to own a home before Saturday. Thank you all so much.

I've attached just a few pictures for you all to see - I can't send the entire file because it's huge!!

Finally, if any of you are interested in volunteering with Bay Area Habitat on a more regular basis, please email me - we have a variety of opportunities in construction, administrative, and counseling, and fundraising areas. It's a fabulous ministry and God can use it can change your life!!

Thanks again for putting your faith into action and supporting the ministry of Habitat for Humanity!
God's Peace,
