CASA Day, 2006

On Saturday, 04Nov, at team of Sojourners winterized two homes in New Market. We volunteered through the CASA organization - Care Assurance System for the Aging and Homebound of Madison County. Their purpose is to assist elderly men and women in remaining in their own homes. This particular project is called CASA TEMP$ (temps). Homes across our region arewinterized. This can include:

- installing plastic over windows
- replacing batteries in smoke detectors
- insulating outside water faucets
- installing storm doors

We served two different elderly ladies. One of these ladies, Ms. Bessie, is 93 years young. She was quite a hoot! She kept asking, “Do you want to live to be 93 like me?” She also asked me more than once if I had been baptized.

One Sojourn lady bought several gifts which were split among the elderly ladies. Thanks to all who played a part in the great project. It was a pleasure.

I often times would try to hide who I really was in order to fit into a crowd.” Read more about her story and what she thinks about the Sojourn community.

missional quotes

It is imperative that Christians be like Jesus, by living freely within the culture as missionaries who are as faithful to the Father and His gospel as Jesus was in His own time and place.
