Fall Work Project Opportunity

Plans are being made to join Pastor Gabe and Vi Medicine Eagle, along with their congregation from the Shekinah Chapel of Ideal, SD, to do some needed repairs and upgrades to their Sunday School/Fellowship Building.  Repairs will also be made to the roof of the home of Pastor Gabe and Vi.

The dates for this project are September 20-24.  You can come for the entire week or you can come for as many days as you like.

Cost:  Approximately $50 per day-this will be the volunteer's cost for food and lodging.  We will be staying in Winner, SD.  Options are taking your camper or staying in a motel.  We will do our meals together.

Pray about joining us as we not only give a helping hand to our brothers and sisters in Christ at Shekinah Chapel, but also experience, explore, and understand more about the Native American culture and the Rosebud Reservation.

Call (712-476-2804) or e-mail (patvp@jfa-nwiow.org) Pat at JFA for more information or to sign up.
