Need a hand with home repairs? Belmont UMC’s Encore Home Help Ministry is here to help with small household projects, and the impact has been big:
I’m so grateful for the Encore Home Help Ministry! They recently helped me with a couple of projects, and their skill and kindness really impressed me. I only wish I had called them sooner! – Mary Crichton
We thought we needed a new front door lock, but ENCORE Home Help saved the day! Jim Robinson came, made a few careful adjustments, and had it working perfectly in minutes—no new lock needed. We’re so grateful for this valuable service! – Jim and Starr Strickland
I’m grateful for the diligence Bart used in assembling my printer stand. He also fixed a door hinge! – Nancy Holland
Skilled, kind, and ready to serve – this team is making a real difference in our church community.
