It was a busy day at New Covenant. Things were hoppin! Over 250 registered, picked up their t-shirts and got their housing assignments. Thanks to a generous donation, we were able to feed all of them dinner. So far this weekend I have met people from West Virginia, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New York, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Kansas, Texas, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, and Oregon.
Vernon Boteler and the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief team arrived and set up their food trucks and a shower station. Ten men and three women will be getting up each morning at 3:30 AM to begin cooking breakfast for the team!
Butch Price and his advance team where out doing home assessments and preparing jobs assignments for tomorrow morning. Mike Fialla led us in a great time of worship after dinner. You can click on the photo above to see a slide show of the day. You can go to this link to see a great piece that KCRG did on Eight Days of Hope.
We expect another 450 people to arrive tomorrow. Breakfast will be served from 7:00-8:30 AM, orientation at 9:00 and then out the door and to work assignments. Dinner will be served from 5:30-7:00 PM and then worship at 8:00. It will be quite a day!
