8-30-16 (1)A finishing touch to the exterior of the chapel is painting the roof. Cerwin paints it white to reflect heat – which saves wear and tear on the air conditioning.

Cerwin is on the final countdown before preparing the chapel for travel to Houston. He and Glenn will do that on Wednesday when chairs, steps, and other interior items are loaded. Tomorrow they are loading the Laz-E-Boy chair and sofa bed and doing other odds and ends. On Friday he will fuel the truck and we will load some of our personal items.

This weekend we plan to enjoy a mini-vacation that was given to us by our children – three days of attending a series of gospel concerts in nearby Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Our planned departure date is Monday morning, September 12 and, Lord willing, we will arrive at the Flying J near Houston on Wednesday, September 14.

We are excited!

Pray for us as we try to get everything done this week.
