Charlie has worked it out and has a couple of professionals to help install the Duct work at Calvary Hill.
We are setting the date for Friday, March 12 to begin work and continue through Sat., March 13. The
church will have the material ready for us and if we could get a couple of electrically minded people we
could finish what was left undone. The electrical would consist of removing the #14 temp wire that was
run for lighting and replacing it with the #12 required. Making up the panel is also to be done. The Housing
will be provided beginning Thursday night if anyone would like to take advantage of it. Work will begin
promptly at 8 am Friday morning. All meals will be provided as before.
Paul Atchison will not be able to commit at this time because his father is now in Central Baptist hospital
and not expected to live long due to returning cancer. Please be in prayer for Paul and Kaye as they
make decisions how to proceed. If dad comes out of the hospital both mom and dad will need to move in
with Paul and Kaye for care. These are hard decisions and God’s grace is needed no matter what the
outcome. We will miss Paul if he is not able to come but will be lifting him in prayer.
