- Joel House's Soccer number in Junior High was 22
- Joel House's Basketball number in Junior High was 22
- Sgt Joel A. House was killed in action at 22 years of age

Signs... we are always being spoken to whether audible or not. It might be through signs, visions, or more often through "seemingly random" connections.

Pay attention, make the connections, and accept the blessings.

The most valuable and magical Christmas present is love, and you don’t even need Santa to get you one. Show some love to everyone who surrounds you, including yourself, and you will never forget this marvelous night. Christmas Eve is upon us...

The Savior is born, it's time to celebrate his birth.
Through his birth, we have new life.
Truly a gift has been given to all who believe.

⭐⭐PLEASE SHARE⭐⭐
July 9th, 2022 will mark the 5 Year Anniversary
completion of the House in the Woods lodge
located in Lee, Maine.

The words "Thank you" simply aren't enough to express the gratitude the House in the Woods team, and the men and women we serve, has for each and every individual who has been a part of the mission itself, and making the lodge a reality.

One might think it's just a building, but to those who know it and have visited, it's much more than that. It's a Home Away From Home for so many, a foundation on which many have found peace, love, strength, and more importantly HOPE.

In honor of our 5th lodge Anniversary, we're preparing a Celebration in honor of YOU. Each one of you has been here alongside of us on this mission. This mission of SAVING LIVES.
SAVE THE DATE - we have amazing things planned for you,
you will NOT want to miss it!

If you haven't visited yet, we'll leave you with a statement we hear often... many say, "I FEEL GOD'S LOVE HERE."
Feel it for yourself, be sure to join us for this special opportunity in which we give thanks to so many.

Gold star families... who are they? They are the spouses, children, parents, siblings or others whose loved one died in service to our nation – and are a vital part of our country’s military community and history.

How did the term gold star originate?

During World War I, families displayed small banners with a blue star for every immediate family member serving in the armed forces. If their service member died in service, the family replaced the blue star with a gold star. The gold star let the community know that their service member died or was killed while serving their country.

Today, the nation recognizes gold star survivors in several ways to show its deep gratitude, including:
Designating the last Sunday of September as Gold Star Mother’s and Family’s Day
Recognizing April 5 as Gold Star Spouses Day

Thank you to each man, woman and child who holds this special honor. The honor no one ever wants. But an honor nontheless to be the family member of a man or woman who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Please know, from the bottom of our hearts, here at House in the Woods, we see you, we love you, we appreciate you, and we honor you - today and EVERY day.

Dorothy Rowe of Lincoln… THANK YOU for stopping by the lodge this week! 😃 we had a nice time touring the facility with you and relaxing for a while in the archery range.

Thank you for the $1,000.00 donation towards our CHANGE FOR VETS campaign.

Your donation will be made directly on the lodge, and help ensure that this program will be here for our Heroes for generations to come.

For those not familiar, the CHANGE FOR VETS campaign is specifically designated to the payoff of the lodge loan, currently just under $1.5 million dollars. Only donations specifically made to this campaign are made to the lodge loan. All other donations support the veterans directly, and our programs.

This loan comes due in early 2022, at which time we’ll start to accrue interest.

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR GENEROSITY!!!!
