Great Turn Out for the June 3 Planning Meeting

Another great turn out for the Jacob's Well planning team. Several new churches, builders and event planners attended. The momentum continues to build as we gear up for volunteer framing crews this summer. Watch for the upcoming fundraising event October 9th!

Our hospitality committee has a wonderful plan in place to be sure construction volunteers are fed on site and appreciated for their hard work. If you have been thinking about getting involved in the Jacob's Well project, don't hesitate. You are going to be blown away at how this project comes together. Get on board today. Contact Susanc@vision-house.org. Minutes to the meeting can be found >>HERE.
