We are pleased to announce that the Men’s Ministry is taking part in a home revitalization project with “Rebuilding Together,” a charitable organization that each year targets a lower-income Richmond neighborhood, assisting elderly and disabled homeowners in a one-day blitz with home repair, weatherization, and safety improvements.

We need guys who have trade skills and others who can simply sling a paint brush!

This year’s blitz will be Saturday, April 27, 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Come for as long as you can. The church will provide a bagel breakfast, lunch, and plenty of water.
 
This year Rebuilding Together has targeted the Greater Fulton neighborhood in the East End of Richmond off of Williamsburg Road. Our adopted house is owned by Ms. Christine Robertson. Some of the projects include:
 
1.  Replacing bathroom flooring and toilet;
2.  Replacing a bathroom vanity;
3.  Repairing damaged house siding;
4.  Replacing kitchen water faucet;
5.  Repairing brick steps with new mortar;
6.  Reinstalling insulation in a crawl space;
7.  Replacing light fixtures;
8. Caulking around windows;
9.  Installing a new stove, and more.
 
This is a wonderful opportunity to show God’s love to a community in need in the Richmond area!

Be advised that the WEPC Women’s Retreat is also on April 27th. Please do not volunteer for Rebuilding Together if it conflicts with your wife’s desire to attend the women’s retreat!
