In today’s first
reading, we hear Samuel respond eagerly, “Here I am!” each time the Lord calls
him. May we, too, be listening for the
call of God in our lives and be ready to say like the psalmist, “Here am I,
Lord; I come to do your will.” (See 1 Samuel 3:4; Psalm 40)

Our 2009 Habitat for Humanity Apostles
Build is Underway!
PBOC has once again partnered with Habitat
for Humanity and other local churches to build a home for a needy family. This past week construction began on our 2009
Apostles Build for the Denise Brown family.
The Brown children are Angelo (age 15) and Deandra (age 7). Denise works for the AVX
Corporation and has been there for 9 years.
Helping local church volunteers are college students who are in town for
the next 2 weeks. They are working on
panelizing the frame at the Habitat office in the city of Georgetown. The
panels are then trucked to the construction site, which is located outside the
City of Georgetown, on Gresham Dive in the Choppee area of Georgetown
County. Through the generous support of
our parish, a home will become a reality and blessing for the Brown
family. Special construction skills are
not required to participate and construction leaders are available on site to
assist and direct the volunteers. If you
are interested in helping, Wednesdays and Saturdays are reserved especially for
church volunteers, although you are welcome any day Monday-Saturday.
Please call Doug Weiss (357-9299). You
may also contact Habitat: Coordinator of Volunteers on 546-5685 ext 9; or the
Construction Hotline on 546-5685 ext 5.
