On May 3, between 12:00 noon and 3:00 p.m., Christ Presbyterian Church will be hosting a "Round House Raising." A month ago, six men from CPC went to El Salvador to participate in the building of twenty-five "round houses" that they had purchased for a community in El Salvador devastated by the recent earthquakes. Their love for the people they met and their enthusiasm for what these houses can do for people in third world countries has led them to encourage others to get involved.

The Round House is a unique home, constructed of Oriented Strand Board, that is so structurally sound that it can withstand up to Force 4 hurricane winds and can maintain its structural integrity during an earthquake. The house has many more benefits than these two but, most importantly, the people who now occupy these few houses are excited and grateful for them.

We invite you to stop by during the construction on May 3 or in the weeks thereafter to view the Round House. We'll have more information available at that time, and you can see first hand what an amazing structure this home is.
