September 29th - Thank You

So much has happened in the last two weeks concerning the Heaven House project. First of all the Foundation was completed and we were blessed by having the Brock White Company donate the 2" foam we needed for the foundation. We also had Jim from Hillside Dampproofing furnish and apply the waterproofing coating to the foundation at no charge. We then had Eric Steinbrecker arrange to demonstrate a new foam installation gun from Lincoln Contractors Supply to install the 2" foam on the foundation. Then once our inspection was approved, Our friends Justin and Monty did the backfilling work. On Saturday the 26th, Jeff Hurst lead a crew that installed the foundation cap. This cap is the first floor structure of the house. This cap is very important to make the site safe so no one can fall into the basement. We will temporarily re-purpose the cap as our stage for the Foundation Celebration this Saturday October 3rd.

Much has happened away from the site too. Robin Walker has more Design Teams taking rooms in the house. On Sunday September 20, the World Harvest Community Church officially launched their involvement with the Heaven House project. They had the family there on the platform for both services and the church warmly received the family and the project. We are blessed to have World Harvest Community Church as another one of the church partners in the project. Last Saturday, with the help of World Harvest Community Church, the neighborhood canvasing event took place, we visited the Heaven House neighborhood, informed them of the Heaven House project and invited them to our Foundation Celebration on October 3rd. The Community Warehouse ministry in Milwaukee has also now stepped forward to partner with us in the project. They will be providing some of our building materials at no charge to the project! We also had an exciting donation of brick that is planned to be used on the front of the house around the front entrance. This will be a wonderful accent that will really dress up the front of the house. Now we just need to find some bricklayers to install the brick! Lastly, Brittany Helm has taken on the role of website manager. We now have a new webaddress and Brittany has done a wonderful job with improving the site. Another Brittany, Brittany Georgeson is now blogging on the website. The blog is our attempt to keep everyone updated with new developments as they happen. We still plan to have Heaven House updates like this that will try to keep everyone informed.

We want to invite all of you to join us at the Foundation Celebration October 3rd. The music will start at 2:30PM. We have a Program planned to start at 3PM and then after the program there will be more music until 5PM that evening. We have three bands planning to be there including the Worship team from Shepherd of the Hills Church and World Harvest Community Church. We also plan to have a refreshment tent there with drinks and popcorn. Please plan to join us, and bring some friends. Bring your lawn chair and enjoy hanging out with good people. Parking will be off site, you can find a map of the site and the parking on our new website at www.heavenhouse.org
