Montgomery House is Complete!
Saturday, June 28, 2009 is a day David and Lisa Lewis have been dreaming of for a very long time. It is the day of their Dedication Ceremony! This simple ceremony is to give thanks to God and the many volunteers that chose to serve him by volunteering their time and energy in making the Lewis' dream come true.
If you have never been to a Dedication for a Habitat family, you should make it a point to do so at some time. It is a very moving experience for everyone.
In the Montgomery case, the WVUIT Biology students were the first to volunteer. They installed the subfloor and have not seen the house since it's very beginning stages. The Saturn Crew and Bowles Rice team that built and raised the walls and set the trusses. The volunteers from DuPont and AEP that helped to get the roof shingled, the insulation installed and the water lines installed after 9 straight days of rain. The operating room nurses (AORN) and the Knights of Columbus that painted the house inside and out. And of course, the ever faithful, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Crew members.
The Habitat for Humanity Dedication Ceremony brings the family and all of the people who have helped to make this event happen, together, to give thanks.

The "Blessings" House
Last November, Habitat for Humanity Of Kanawha and Putnam County hosted an event in which we acknowledged the many “Blessings” of our ministry, including the servant leadership of Mike and Tina McCready. We were also able to raise enough funds to build a house in honor of the McCready’s!
On May 26, we began construction on the “Blessings” house and we will be working on it throughout June and July. Mike and Tina and their friends and church family, Blessed Sacrament, worked the first week of the build and were able to get the house under roof in 5 days. Stephanie Southers, the future homeowner was and will continue to be on site to work alongside the volunteers.
Remember, you don’t have to construction expertise to volunteer, just a willingness to help a deserving family realize the dream of homeownership.
If you are interested in volunteering on our “Blessings” house or any of our other houses, please contact me at 304-720-0141 or sign up on the volunteer section on this web site.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
