 Summer
Mission Week
HOME IS WHERE THE
HEART IS
June 21-25, 2010
Project Applications
Once again, we are looking to St. Timothy parishioners for work to be
done during this summer’s mission week. If you or someone you know (a
friend, relative or neighbor) has a home that is in need of repairs or
improvements that would improve its safety, efficiency and/or quality of
living space and are financially/physically not able to get the work
done, consider submitting an application for the needed work to this
year’s summer mission week, HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS. Examples
of work done during previous mission weeks include building and
installing handicap ramps, minor plumbing and electrical repairs,
flooring, insulation, yard work, building a storage shed, gutter
repairs, house painting, drywall, hanging doors.
Applications are now available in the
gathering space, in the parish office and on the parish website. The
deadline for submission is April 21. Any questions regarding the
application, contact Lesley Duggan (384-1100 ext.25 or
lduggan@saint-timothy.org).
Project
Application
Volunteers
Volunteers of all skill levels will be needed for this year’s projects
and will need to be 14 years of age or older. Youth who are 14-18 years
old, who are not members of the youth group will need a parent
participating with him/her. It is preferred that project volunteers
commit to all 5 work days (7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.); however, if not
possible, a commitment of fewer days (2 or more) will be fine, but the
days must be consecutive. Parishioners interested in volunteering for
onsite project work need to contact Lesley Duggan (384-1100 or lduggan@saint-timothy.org)
as soon as possible so that skill assessments can be taken to determine
the type of work we will be able to do during the mission week.
An idea of the type of project work we
have done in the past: building handicap ramps, painting, drywall
repair, plumbing repairs, small electrical repairs, weatherization, lawn
work, porch repairs, interior home repairs. Whether you are a
self-proclaimed handy-man or a professional plumber or carpenter, or you
simply can do no more than hold a paint brush, consider being part of
this year’s worksite volunteers.
Ways
to support the mission trip:
A benefit to having a local trip is that it will give the parish
greater opportunity to be directly involved in the mission week. The
financial support of the parish through May’s fundraising events will
continue to be an important part of the mission’s success. Parishioners
will also have opportunity to take on support roles such as helping
provide breakfast, lunch and dinner for the mission team during the
mission week. As the date of the trip nears, more details and ways
to support the mission will become available. In the meantime, there is
no time like the present to begin your spiritual support for this year’s
mission.
