YOUNG ADULT WHEELCHAIR RAMP BUILD
Saturday 18th, 7:30am till done
This project is intended for all Young Adults, but all are welcome to help and teach our Young Adults. We are going to build a handicap ramp for a man with physical difficulties and has problems getting in and out of his house. Come and be a gift; it is an awesome feeling.
We will meet at the church at 7:30am and caravan to the job site in Springtown.
If you are able to give one day to help another in need please sign up.
There is fun, fellowship with others, and some hard work, but there is nothing better to recharge your heart batteries than helping those in need.
All are welcome. Please bring a screw gun or other wood working tools that you may have.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I Lord. Send me!" Isaiah 6:8
