Momeyer Baptist Church, Nashville, NC Eddie, Valarie, Doug, Iva & Judy did a paint job in one house and then moved on and caulked and painted trim in another house. They also clean and sealed the floor at Union Church. Doug is always eager to learn something new so I let him cut and install some missing baseboard molding.
Bailey Baptist Church, Bailey, NC Emily & Ed rode up with the Momeyer team to to do shower & laundry which includes the four bathrooms in the church. They also do chaplaincy so they contacted a family in need of support.
Our Redeemer’s United Methodist Church, Schaumburg, IL The group split several ways due to size and skills. Along with other small jobs they worked steady on two large demo job tearing out sheet rock and flooring at two homes while others were were installing sheet rock and flooring on two rebuild jobs. They also led some music during devotions. They enjoyed getting together and playing games in the evenings.
Providence Baptist Church, Raleigh, NC This team also split up. They rebuilt two bathrooms, built a porch and steps so a senior would get in and out easy, did a couple of tear outs, installed insulation and started replacing shake shingles on a home. Don Galimore came in Wednesday. He joined one of their groups as they took down and replaced the upper room steps at Union Church.
Covenant Baptist Church, Shepherdstown, WV Kyler returned from West Virginia with a group of energetic youth and leaders. They installed the shingles on Joan’s house, installed crawl space insulation in three homes, did tear outs and moved our frozen food back into the NBCM refer.
