The weekend before last our small group went to Alpha House and had a cook out. We arrived around noon and most of the group was already there.
A few weeks earlier our group decided to go in together and get a grill for Alpha House. This was one of the items that was on their 'wish list'. (For a list please go to their website and email them if you feel led to give a gift or a financial contribution)
I know I say this often and will probably continue to tell you what a great work Alpha House is doing on our community. Alpha House can currently house 4 women who are leaving incarceration. They have volunteers come in and lead Bible study, teach life skills, hang out with the ladies and just show them love. These women are getting a fresh new start on life and what a joy to be able to be part of their growth and their life. If you serve others for God somewhere you know the kind of joy that I am speaking of. If you do not serve, I strongly encourage you do it. Somewhere...if you aren't sure where just keep trying different places till you find the one that fits. Alpha House is a great place to start! Visit their website above for a volunteer application.
The women who started the home are a group of 4 sisters and their mother. They are a great group of women who are letting God lead their move and their decisions over this home.
I just wanted to share with you what are group did and show you some pictures of how much fun we had! Enjoy!!
