Subject: Fwd: VIM option to assist Rev. Dick and Jean Burns

Dear VIM Leaders and Friends of VIM,
The United Methodist Habitat Blitz Build last summer was an excellent example of Western Pennsylvania United Methodists offering their gifts and skills to meet a need. There continues to be great need within WPA and clusters of churches and volunteers reaching out through construction to address those needs. In the next few weeks I'll be talking with district representatives to see how we can more effectively meet some of these needs together.
In the meantime, let me give you another option for volunteering. Retired pastor, Dick Burns, and his wife, Jean, have been struggling with some ongoing medical problems. Dick served churches in Rockland, Van, St. Marys, Johnstown: Oakland, and Corry: First. He then became the Conference approved Evangelist until retiring in 1994. Dick and Jean are getting ready to move in with their daughter Sharon and her husband Dave. This will require an addition to Sharon and Dave's home. Hosanna Ministries will be providing supervision in the blitz construction for this project.
If you're willing to help with this project, please contact Dave and Sharon Thomas: 814-479-4661.
Dates of Blitz Build: Saturday, Jun 27 through Friday, July 3 (excluding Sunday, June 28).
Address of Construction: 100 Oak Street, Hollsopple, PA
Like any VIM project all levels of skills are needed, including those who support the builders with food and drink.
We have a lot of individuals and teams volunteering this summer. Please keep them in your prayers!
