Local youths assist Habitat for Humanity
Perryopolis First Christian Church Youth Group recently participated in another successful Habitat for Humanity trip. This year, five youths and five adults traveled to Greenwood, S.C., and met up with two other Christian Church Disciple of Christ youth groups from Liberty, Ky., and Aurora, Ill. There were 34 people in all who stayed in a Presbyterian church and ate lunch at a Methodist church.
During the week, the group worked on a variety of projects including cementing a driveway, building two sheds, laying brick for a doorway, building a handicap access ramp and painting and repairing a dilapidated garage.
The group from Perryopolis included adults John and Vicky Phillips, John Vozel, the Rev. Michael and Laurie Malone and youths Maranda and Perry Leapline, Lauren Tucker, John (JP) Morgan and Joe Downer.
