We've continued to "Build For the Master" as a family, with the latest venture being a return trip to New Orleans with Joyce and Christi accompanying Dave this time! We worked on Don and Rita Michna's house.
The renovation of this completely devasted house had been going on quite well, but there was a need for some "plumbers" to install two fiberglass shower/tub modules. One was a walk in shower module for Don, who suffers from the results of a stroke.
So, on Monday, July 24th, the "plumbers" arrived to start their work!! ...
The week serving in New Orleans was great experience and we were able to finish the work on the shower and tub. Dave even "christened" one of the showers on the last day!
Building for the Master is taking on a new "wrinkle" for the next month or so. I have been asked to take on the project management responsibilities for local church who is engaged in a renovation project at a local mall. Cedarbrook Church is 4 years-old and has met in a local movie theater in Menomonie, Wisconsin during that time. Due to expanding attendance and additional ministry/space needs, Cedarbrook will move to a space in the "Shops Off Broadway" shopping center in North Menomonie.
I am excited to work with a group of volunteers who not only want to invest the time, talent and treasure in helping to create the physical changes necessary to help Cedarbrook fulfill its mission, but also want to invest in "building with living stones" as they work together to build a stronger community at Cedarbrook. So, if you have an interest in helping out, we're seeking volunteers! As you can see from the picture below, I need all the help I can get!
