Heading Home

The Youth Group of First United Methodist Church is heading home today after five days of building a house in Joplin, MO. They have worked hard, and accomplished what they set out to accomplish. The house is not complete, but will be visited and worked on by other groups throughout the summer.

Here are some pictures of the progress:

This progress is a testament to the commitment of these young people to help those in need. This project, however couldn't be done with only the tenacity of the youth, we need to thank all of our donors for their support; we couldn't have made it this far without all of your help. We still, however, are trying to fund the rest of the house to insure that it is, in fact, able to be finished by the end of the summer, so any further donations will definitely be appreciated. To donate, visit the church website: fumcelgin.org.
