Steve Ocheltree experiences the effects of Service Saturday

Saturday, November 3, 2012, 22 of us met out at Rescue The Children, on Clinton and 99, to paint storerooms and sweep up construction debris.  The newly opened facility is run by The Fresno Rescue Mission, and offers housing, counseling, spiritual training and education for women who come from abuse, addiction and incarceration.  The goal of Rescue The Children is to rehabilitate and retrain the women during an 18-month program so they can be productive, healthy and self-supporting in society. Young children may live with their mothers at the facility and attend the nearby elementary school. The facility will eventually provide these services for more than 100 women.

It was a glorious day, sunny, clear and cool.  And it was a glorious start to our Service Saturday tradition!  We hope to host a Service Saturday about six times a year, or every two months.
God bless and see you at our next Service Saturday!
