Knox at work in mission
June 23rd, 2010Alyssa in Mozambique:
On Wednesday June 23rd, Alyssa Saxton, a recent graduate of UNI, headed to Mozambique for two and half weeks with a mission team from Orchard Hill Church of Cedar Falls and Food for the Hungry. Please pray for safe travels as well as for a blessed time as she ministers with the love of Christ to the children and families she meets there. You can follow her thoughts as she writes about her trip on her blog at Mission Mozambique.
Local Presbyterians are “Building on Faith”
First Presbyterian Church and a number of other local churches are leading the way in building a house in partnership with Habitat for Humanity. The big kick-off for the building is June 25, when they will raise the walls (the foundation is already in) along with Kurt and Brenda Warner.
Work days will start on Saturday June 26th and will continue most Saturdays thereafter (excluding July 3rd) until the house is completed; this size house can be built in about ten full working days. Work days typically go from 8:00am to 4:00pm; however, people may volunteer for a half-day shift. Additional workdays during the week maybe added if there are enough volunteers.
First Presbyterian is inviting people from our congregation to join in helping build this house. If you are interested in being part of this project, offering up your time and sweat labor, please let Pastor Jim know by e-mailing him at pastor@knoxcr.org.
