Saturday, April 9: Insulation, Sheet Rock, Sunshine & Lots of Volunteers :)

Wow!  God sent lots of volunteers today--at least twenty-four by my count!  I was not able to help today, but I did drive over to take a few pictures before the lunch break.

Here's most of the volunteers.  Some of the insulation workers were still under the house when I took this picture.

Here are some more volunteers, The Stams, or part of the Stam family.  I understand there is a dozen of them--Wow!  I love to see the little ones come to help.  Thanks for making it a Family Affair!

Here is some of the volunteers hanging sheet rock.  This is a hard job and takes some strong backs.  Thanks goes out to Wayne Atkins who is a skilled sheet rock installer (? don't know the correct term for this occupation?).  He came out to supervise only, or that's what  I thought, as he is handicapped in multiple ways.  When I asked him if he had been helping with hanging, he shyly said, "Well, it's hard not to help."  Thanks, Wayne.  I hope you recuperate from the hard work!

Below, is some of the group from Highlands Fellowship Church that came today.  It appears that Anna is saving Darren from Greg--they've been hanging too much sheet rock today!  Break time!

The ladies pictured below brought lunch and are from God's Helping Hands, a non-profit organization serving the Lord through helping the hurting and the needy.  They have non-denominational men's & women's Bible study groups that meet every Monday night at 7 p.m.  Their location & phone is:

15610 Porterfield Highway
Abingdon, VA 24210
(276) 206-8328

God's Helping Hands has offered to prepare all Saturday lunches. 
Thanks for all the food, GHH!

I apologize for not getting any pictures from the crawl space of the house where a group was installing insulation.  I did not realize they were under there until the dinner bell rang.

On Tuesday, we will have the Central Carpenters for Christ, which is a group from Central Presbyterian Church in Bristol.  They will be working on mudding the sheet rock.  

If anyone else is planning on coming out, please let me know what you plan to work on so I can keep everyone informed.

Commit your work to the Lord, and then your plans will succeed. 

~~Proverbs 16:3
