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need new estimates as the old estimates are no longer valid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

Thank you and God bless.  Debbie.
