Housing Renovation Project
On the weekend of April 29-30, teams led by
BHPC (on Saturday) and BJC (on Sunday), along with many other
churches and synagogues in the D.C. area, will be working on a
housing renovation project, through the auspices of Rebuilding
Together and Yachad, the Jewish Housing and Community
Development Corporation of Greater Washington, D.C. This year,
BJC and BHPC will be renovating a house owned by an elderly
woman in Olney, in need of a wide variety of interior and
exterior minor repairs and painting work. We can use help from
anyone aged 14 and up, with or without any skills (although
anyone with any plumbing or carpentry skills will be especially
appreciated!) If you're interested, please contact Gary

Interfaith Partnership News
The House That BJC/BHPC Built
On Monday, February 16, many of us spent a cold winter
holiday with our Bradley Hills Presbyterian Church brothers and
sisters building houses with Habitat for Humanity. Nineteen of
us spent the day in Anacostia hammering, sawing, rasping,
shimming, gluing, eating and enjoying fellowship. We split
into four teams and worked on two houses. Eight houses are
currently up and have siding on them. Two houses are
completed, and six are under construction, including the
interfaith house. The whole project will take five years
and will eventually involve 53 houses. Seven Americorp
volunteers lead us through the process. These young people
come from all over the country to participate in this project.
We left BJC at 7:45 to get to Anacostia at 8:30, After a brief
orientation, we got right to work, putting up drywall.
We had a fabulous lunch together and learned the Habitat cheer.
Then back to work with the drywall again (lots of dust!).
We returned home tired, but refreshed, knowing that our labor
will help families in need of shelter. |
