What a great Saturday!  The Lord Blessed us with slightly cooler weather and our hard working volunteers got a lot accomplished.  21 construction volunteers, 2 office volunteers and a lunchroom expert, all worked with diligence and grace to make it a successful day.  

The wonderful folks from Granbury Church of Christ brought Chicken Express chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and coleslaw.  These fine folks also brought a large variety of desserts! It was an excellent lunch.

At the work sites, progress continues at a good clip.  At Eliana’s home (4102 Canyon Rd.) final preparation for painting the interior was completed.  Trim was also added to the opening around the attic stairs.  Next door at Ty and Mallory’s home (4104 Canyon Rd.) the green board and top plate were cut and marked. However, the big deal of the day, was raising the first wall of their new home! That is always an inspirational moment for the family and volunteers.

God Bless us each and every one!

Today was a very special day as we had > 51 < construction workers!  (Our friends from Constellation Energy showed up in a BIG way!) Later in the day, students from the construction class from Granbury High School joined our team.  We also had 6 office workers and 1 lunchroom volunteer.  In addition to a lot of muscle, Constellation also provided burgers and fries from Grump’s while our dear friends from Acton Methodist Church provided a HUGE selection of delicious desserts.  Lunch was a feast and it was wonderful!

On the construction front the exterior of Eliana’s home has been completely painted with the customary 2 coats of paint Habitat provides.  Additionally, the inside trim is now finished.  Meanwhile, back at the warehouse, the students from Granbury High School finished the trusses and walls on the backyard shed for Eliana’s home.  Things are progressing well.

Over at Tye and Mallory’s house, the slab has been marked and the green board has been installed.  Our folks are out in the sun but they are gettin’ ‘er done!  Great job!

God Bless you all!  You are the very essence of God’s love and Grace…

Love Ya!

Prayer List:  Lloyd Snider / Suzy Warner / Chris Mays / Mickey Bezant / Becky Kruse / Stevie Barker / and all of our Habitat Families

Once again conditions were hot, but our volunteers were totally cool with that! Their work ethic in the face of tough conditions never ceases to inspire and amaze me.  God Bless each of you for your strong backs and faithful hearts!

With 24 construction workers (3 of which were future homeowners) 3 office workers and one lunch volunteer, we were able to accomplish a great deal. Granbury Methodist Church provided wonderful sandwiches, pasta salad, fruit, chips and cookies all of which were delicious.

Today, our construction folks were doing double duty as they worked on 2 homes. On 4102 the team worked on caulking and finishing door trim while next door at 4104 the pre-build was underway!  An additional team worked at the warehouse preparing and painting trim work for future installation.  Both groups of volunteers got a lot of work done and did so in very hot, uncomfortable conditions.  THANK YOU! 

You all bring Glory to a good and gracious God through your compassionate, heartfelt labor and acts of kindness.  I am so blessed to be a part of this team…

Love Ya!

WE ARE BACK!!!

Our first day of the new build season was busy, productive and HOT!  Today your efforts in very uncomfortable conditions served as a perfect example of your dedication to the families we serve and the ministry we love.   

24 construction volunteers, 3 of which were future homeowners, worked side by side on a multitude of projects.  Meanwhile, 4 folks on our office staff continued to keep our ministry on track and did so without the benefits of air conditioning. Additionally, 2 lunch volunteers worked to set up our break room and help serve our entire team.  An absolutely delicious lunch was provided by the “Pairs and Spares” group from Granbury First United Methodist Church.   

Our construction folks worked on getting all the doors in the home installed as well as completing the interior trim work around the doors and windows.  They did an excellent job in difficult conditions.  

You guys are just the best!  God Bless you each and every one for sharing your time and talent and for always leading with the heart of a servant.  

Love Ya!

Richard
