This weekend our church launched it's DREAM CENTER. It was such an exciting day. Our church purchased two buildings in one of the lower
socio-economic parts of town. One is for a health clinic called Christ Health Center and the other for an Outreach Center. The health clinic will have doctor care, nursing care, dentistry and counseling. Everyone may use the health clinic even those without insurance. The outreach center will be a hub for church members to come to be tutors, mentors and community volunteers.
For the launch we had a huge yard sale, all kinds of activities for the kids, a health fair, free shoes, and lots of great food. Our pastor is from
Louisiana and loves to make
jambalaya for the church. Let's just say there was a lot of jambalaya.
Ew Wee!!! It was delicious!
Jeff and I working the health fair. I was in charge of the mental health table.
Jeff, Bill, Jason and
Eiken. Not only was the dream center day a day for celebration but also a day of service. These guys spent their morning painting the high school in the neighborhood.
We had roughly 1500 people come out for the event.
An organization called Soles for Souls came out and gave away free shoes. These shoes were all brand new and not on the cheap side either. Most of the boxes I saw walk by were
Columbias and
Timberlands. It was reported that 2000 pairs of shoes were given out!!!!!!
We had a great day serving. Pray that the Dream Center will be a place where dreams will come true!
Friends Michelle and Kali as a sexy witch and a go-go dancer.
My fabulous brother and sister in laws. Jay was Patrick Bateman from American Psycho and Heidi as She-Ra Princess of Power. She had a great costume and handmade the entire thing. 
Then there is Jeffrey. He was dressed at Jim Jones the cult leader during the 70s. His sister picked out his costume and it was so funny because nobody knew who he was. One person thought he was Harry Potter and another thought he was the Kool-Aide Graduation guy. He was like "thanks Heidi you dressed me up as Harry Potter!"
