The Narragansett Bay Workcamp is going to be on TV!!!

So, mark your calendars and grab some popcorn and tissues, you won’t want to miss us.  Our local Rhode Island Channel ABC6 is spotlighting workcamp in an one hour special before the premiere of the Extreme Home Makeover show of the Warwick home.  This special will air on Sunday, May 4th from 7-8pm and we will have a segment during that hour.  Then the Extreme Home Makeover Show will air from 8-9pm.  We are so excited about this and believe that this is just the inspiration that we need to pump you and other churches and donors up to want to get involved.  Consider coming and Loving out Loud with us.  WORKCAMP IS 9 WEEKS AWAY!!! 

We are singing Praise!!

We are so grateful for all the support that our friends, parishioners, and donors have given to us.    We could have not collected 298 applications from the Kent County and Narragansett Bay area without the many agencies and advocates of this project.  And we are $9,000 away from our target budget goal of $30,000.  So we thank all the businesses and individuals who have given a donation in the monetary or in-kind form.  Please click below to check us out singing Praise to all who are “Loving out Loud” with us.
