2004 Synod Assembly: "Called Into God's Marvelous Light"

Live update added 3 p.m., Wednesday, April 21, 2004

Work Commences for the First Day on Site With Bishop and Synod Ministers

The house at 1009 1st St. SW is full of volunteers today, including Bishop Harold Usgaard and synod ministers Pastor Audree Catalano and Larry Iverson. Trent Fluegel, Executive Director of the Rochester Area Habitat for Humanity, eagerly pointed out many ongoing projects in the house. Among them are the front porch, which will be completely redone; a new garage, which right now is outlined in the back yard with walls sitting nearby, waiting to be put together once the concrete is poured later today; windows that will be knocked out and replaced; carpet that is being ripped up; and plaster on the basement walls which needs to be chipped away. The walls for the garage were assembled by people from the Red Wing Correctional Facility and shipped to the site.
