Edwards Street Fellowship Center

An Outreach Ministry of the United Methodist Church

Holiday Issue 2008

Multipurpose Building Near Completion With completion of our new multipurpose building, the lack of facilities will no longer impede program development at ESFC. A grant from the Asbury Foundation of Hattiesburg paid for most of the cost of the building. Cost beyond the grant funds to complete the interior of the building is estimated at $56,000. Building Exterior and Parking Area We are asking churches, Sunday school classes, United Methodist Women and Men’s ministries and individuals for help in the final phase of construction. A list of materials and items with Lowe’s prices is provided (contractors’ prices may be less). The list is not exhaustive and is offered simply as concrete examples of what will be needed. Any contribution, small or large, will be gratefully received. The list includes items that children could donate from their allowances and feel connected to a ministry that serves families in need. In order to catch a glimpse of the opportunities for ministry that the new building will accommodate, you are invited to tour the building. To arrange a tour, call us at 601-544-6149.
