We had over 100 people serve two widows and their young children on the Saturdays in November.
One of the widows, Vicki, lost her husband in August and has five children ages 6-14. God has been so good to enable us to team up with Vicki's church (Vineyard in Elgin) to get the following accomplished.
We built a room in the unfinished basement, purchased and installed a water heater, painted every room in the house and much of the wood furniture, removed all the flooring and replaced it with hardwood/tile on the main floor and carpet upstairs, installed lights, repaired cabinets, re-padded chairs, did landscaping, repaired leaks, purchased new chairs, dishes, Christmas decorations and more. Whew!
Not only is the family being blessed during this difficult time, but the volunteers are having so much fun working with their neighbors and serving God. It's also great working with Vineyard Church. This is truly a community event!!
