Local Mission Project

Dear All,
I just visited St. Matthew’s UMC on 4300 N. Shepherd Drive in north Houston. This church has a declining congregation who have had some serious financial set backs. They have been trying over the past year to do some up keep but the facility is quite large for an aging congregation. There are many projects that would be great for a weekend mission trip or even longer mission commitment.

Things that need to be done by volunteers:
Wrought iron doors to be removed
Scrap and paint
Caulking
Replace a few window panes
Replace wooden floor in parlor
Move some outside doors to new locations
Re-hang doors
And many other odd jobs

You will have to bring your own tools and money for supplies. If Tom (see below) can give you a list of items needed for the job you decide on, then you could purchase supplies before you arrive.

I am hoping that some of you who have teams needed a place to work for a few hours will give the church a call.
