Father Heart, (a division of Living Alternatives), is a safe maternity home: a place for an expectant mom to prepare for the birth of her unborn child. Moms get to prepare for their babies in a protected environment with loving house staff that support them emotionally and spiritually through their pregnancies while providing practical training. For this project we will be clearing a downed tree that crushed a fence. We'll need a chainsaw or two and some yard tools. They also have a hydraulic log splitter and would be grateful for someone, (an adult), to do nothing but split wood. If we have any carpenter expertise to fix the fence, they would appreciate the help. (They have ordered all fence material). Join us at 9 am at Father Heart, where we will rally, pray, and then serve together!

While at the station please take the opportunity to tell them how much we appreciate them and offer to pray over them and their families.
