BOLIVAR MISSION PROJECT

Melvin Batson, Tony Leago, and I have just returned from a trip to Bolivar to finalize the details for our mission project. Here are some details that participants will need to know. The work days are Thursday, Friday, and for some Saturday am (July 9-11). All who I have talked to are going to leave early Thursday morning and arrive at the job site before noon. Limited sleeping facilities, bathrooms, and showers are available at the FBC, Crystal Beach a few miles from job site. We will be eating out for all meals. The Missions Committee has approved the funds for the building supplies which will be bought at a Bolivar building supply firm. We will be roofing the home, installing Hardy siding on the exterior, insulating and sheet rocking the interior. We plan to finish this work on Thursday afternoon and Friday and using Saturday am to finish if we need to do so. If you are planning to assist on this project and need housing at the church please call the church office 936-348-2686 to get your name a the list.
