Bob Lentz Worthington Christian trip to Houston

Four volunteers from Worthington Christian Church went to Houston area to work with C.O.R.E.-Alliance in rebuilding home damaged from the hurricane.

We worked on a house whose owner was 85 years old, leagally blind, with two grown children with her who are disabled. What a chore this woman as in her golden years of life.

We followed a group of college studens who had put on the first two coats of spackling on the drywall that was replaced. Our job was to sand the drywall, put on another coat of spackling, prime and paint the walls. We not only sanded and aded another coat but had to add a skim coat where required. We put on three coats of paint to get the texture that was on the walls prior to the sections of drywall that was replaced. In doing so, we were able to match the texture so the replaced drywall was not noticable.

We installed 13 interior doors, primed the trim, painted most of the trim and installed 3/4 of the trim prior. We had a great time working for the Lord and being a helping hand in a very small way.

In Him,

Bob Lentz
