Protecting Their Beauty
Removing the yellowed plexiglass to carefully clean the original stained & painted glass windows and scrape and paint the trim. We are in the process of replacing the yellowed plexiglass with clear safety glass so the windows may always display their beauty while being protected & preserved. The front windows and bell tower windows are now done!
Today is a big day because…
Today the shower house leaves to go back to New Orleans. The showers arrived one week after Hurricane Ike ravaged our island and our lives. The EFCA Crisis Response Team brought them from New Orleans after use during Katrina rebuild. The Chapel and Whitehouse sheltered Volunteers who came to help with the clean-up and rebuild of Galveston for over 2 years. The showers were here for the Volunteers. They served all those who came to help us but now, they are no longer needed. The Chapel and Whitehouse say goodbye to a friend.
Thank you to the EFCA Crisis Response Team & the thousands of Volunteers from all over the U.S. & Canada for coming to our side when we were devastated. You are gone now but you will never ever be forgotton.
