Amigos Days
Staff Leader: Diane Presley
Lay Leader: Beth Bentley
April 16 & 17 and April 23 & 24
WANT TO HELP REPAIR A HOUSE?
Our church will be participating in the Amigos Days program in which we will repair and paint two houses in the southern part of Dallas.
Amigos Days is a hands-on ministry of the North Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church and People Helping People (a City of Dallas Housing Revitalization Program) in which our church participates each year. Amigos Days pairs churches with elderly or disabled home owners needing help with the maintenance and upkeep of their homes. On two weekends each spring, volunteers make minor repairs, as well as scrape and paint the outside of these homes. We can use help from men and women. This years dates are April 16 & 17 and April 23 & 24.
Amigos Days is funded entirely by donations from partner churches and individuals. Supplies for the houses we repair are provided by the City of Dallas' People Helping People. The tasks do not require highly skilled labor, just a willingness to take a day or two out of your busy schedule to help a family in need.
Join in a hands-on ministry! Help make a difference in our community!
Ways you can help:
- Join the Construction Team - will repair and paint a house in the southern part of Dallas.
- Join the Hospitality Team - help provide deli-type lunches on each of these four days.
- Support through your prayers
Teens under 16 must work with a parent, 16 - 18 need only a signed permission form. We also need families or groups (bible study, etc.) to help with snack and lunch prep.
Register to participate in this project by coming to the table in the Connection Center on Sundays, March 21 and 28 or contact Beth Bentley at beth.bentley@verizon.net.
