...a faith based organization of the United Methodist Church, helping families recover from Hurricane Rita.

Local Team Spotlight

   
During the week of July 23, 2007, youth from McCabe Roberts Avenue UMC volunteered their time, energy, and effort to help 5 local homeowners repair their homes and restore their lives, under the leadership of Pastor Wanda Bess.  Tasks included replacing sheetrock, windows, and a car port along with painting and lots of scraping!  The youth were very well received and their work was very much appreciated by the homeowners!  Much learning took place and skills were refined as the week continued despite the rain.
The common and polite response to "how is your work coming along?" was re-worded mid sentence by Quewoness..."It's going fi...very well!"  Dominque was  very proud to shared that he learned how to scrape a house.  Erinisha shared how she was thankful for the opportunity to serve her community.  Each of the volunteering youth should feel good at their work and proud of their use of time to serve.
