Sorority House Project Update

Sorority House Project Update ...by Patrice Maturkanich

This exciting and challenging project is in full swing and we see God opening doors that we didn’t even know existed! First, let’s review the purpose of this new ministry:

“SORORITY HOUSE is a Relaxed, Informal, Home environment where Women can share their needs with other Women. It is a place of Encouragement, Support, and Prayer. Sorority House offers resources to help in crisis care, prayer counsel, spiritual mentors, life coaching, and training as we come alongside women during different stages of their lives.”

The gathering place for this “Caring Home” is 1400 S. Fullerton. There is a small house at the front of this property, which Crossroads Christian School had used for offices. The house is in need of an “Extreme Makeover”. There are holes in the walls, no kitchen facility, and a minimal bathroom. In other words, the poor little home is in serious need of some TLC. But no worries! Why? Because Ty Pennington has been called? NO! Because God has wonderful plans for this ministry, and WE have been called to get it READY!

In a miraculous fashion, our local HOME DEPOT and other companies have already signed up to partner with us! The plan? To make this house a welcoming place for women to get a lift up both spiritually and physically.

Not only have these companies allocated FUNDS, but each department (cabinets, plumbing, windows, etc.) has dedicated volunteers to make purchase orders AND help with installation!!

So we KNOW that YOU would like to be a part of this ground-breaking ADVENTURE!!
