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need new estimates as the old estimates are no longer valid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
in the blog and on Wednesday evenings to be included in
the Sunday bulletins as printings are done on Thursdays. 
Thank you and God bless.  Debbie.
