AGAPE TRANSITIONAL HOUSE

The goal of the Agape Transitional House is to
be a temporary home for up to thirty (30) days for a
single mother with no more than two (2) children under
the age of eighteen (18) years old.
                        The Agape Transitional House will be housed at
Ager Road United Methodist Church beside the Altar. It can
be accessed from the outside from the door across from the
former Pastor’s house. However, the space in its current
condition is not habitable. In order, to get it back to livable
condition, it needs a new full bathroom to replace the current
half bathroom. It also needs new plumbing, flooring, closets,
cooling and heating wall system and paint.  We have two
estimates from around two years ago for over $8000 and
$10,000 that have since expired. One of the options for
renovating the space and making it habitable is to hire a
contractor to the repairs. We will need new estimates as the
old estimates are no longer valid and the contractors no longer
live in the area. Our second option is to have some or all of the
repairs done by members of the Nehemiah Charge who are able
to do so.  
                        We are asking members to make a pledge to donate funds;
supplies, service and time to enable us get the Agape
Transitional House ready for the end of fall 2014. If you are
interested is assisting with this very essential project in anyway,
please contact Adin Osayande, Carrine Cooper or Vicky Amaize.
We welcome any ideas or suggestions that you may have to ensure
that we successful in ensuring that Agape Transitional House is
ready on schedule. Thank you.

Please ensure that all announcements are emailed to the
Church Office by Friday evenings in order to be included
