We're moving into our home this weekend!

Wow, its been a long journey, but finally the Lord has opened the door for a home for our family. Things have happened very quickly. We're actually moving this Friday and Saturday. If you can help, that'd be great. Please email me to let us know if you can help either Friday night and/or Saturday morning.

Friday Evening we'll be loading and unloading from 6:30 to around 9:30 pm. On Saturday Morning we'll be working from 9 am until Noon. I'll email the Friday workers on Thursday evening to let you know if you should meet us at our new home (876 Peach Blossom Lane, Rochester Hills) or the home we're living in right now (13712 Castle Avenue, Warren). I'll email or call the Saturday workers Friday evening to let you know where to meet us Saturday morning. Thanks again!
