The Debbie and Larry Rawls Home Dedication |
||
|
On March 20, 2008, the new home was
dedicated in a service led by the Mennonite Disaster Service. Also
participating were members of the board of directors and the executive
director of Second Hope Homes. The pictures show the fellowship preceding
the service and include friends and family of Debbie and Larry.
This project was made possible by Self Help Housing of East Texas (SHHET), a 501(C)3, Texas non-profit corporation that was established to provide housing. The funding for this entire project comes from several sources: The Moody Memorial First United Methodist Church Permanent Endowment Fund (PEF); Rita Recovery, an agency of The United Methodist Church; and Church World Service. The major labor will come from the Mennonite Disaster Service. In Short, this project was made possible by a group of faith based and non-profit organizations. |
