The Mona Calvert home at Milford Meadows, sponsored partially by the Wee Kirk Presbyterian Church of Linville, was dedicated on Saturday afternoon, June 16th. Mona and Teira are happily settled into their new home. A Bible and keys to the home were presented in the dedication ceremony and members of the Wee Kirk congregation  assisted in the service. Mona's green thumb is already evident around the new home with numerous flowering plants adorning the front of the house and the entrance way.

The Sam and Darlene Oaks home is under roof with siding nearly complete. Drywall finishing is underway and painting and final trim out will begin in late September or early October. Thanks to Dan Hemp and crew with Pinnacle Construction (pictured at left) for framing the house over a two day period in May. Care-A-Vanners and mission groups from Potomac Presbyterian Church, St Andrews Episcopal School in Maryland, Ohio State University, and Front Royal Presbyterian Church (click the link for additional pictures and information from Front Royal Pres) www.frpcmissiontrip07.blogspot.com  in Virginia have helped to get the new house to its present level of completion. Our dedicated S.Q.U.A.T. (Senior Quality Assurance Team) group from Banner Elk Presbyterian Church and elsewhere continues to work one or two days each week.
     Volunteer groups are needed to sign up for Saturdays throughout the building period on the Oaks house. For a great Christian service experience, call the office to schedule your Sunday school class or church group to work a Saturday during September or October.
