Weather permitting ☀️🔨 we’ve got a work day planned at the Lifehouse Community on Saturday, May 30th from 8AM–3PM!

We’ll be tackling electrical work, mudding, texturing, painting, and plenty more — so there’s a job for everybody. Whether you’re handy with tools or just willing to jump in and help, we’d love to have you there.

No experience needed… just bring yourself and a willingness to serve. Community really does change everything, and this is a chance to be part of building something that will make a real difference. ❤️

Huge thank you to our friends at Trinity Baptist Church, The Open Door Church and Community Center, and Emmanuel Fellowship Church—you guys showed up big this past Saturday and helped us get a ton done! We’re so grateful 🙌

If you missed it, no worries—we’ve got another work day coming up at the Lifehouse Community on May 30th from 8AM–3PM. We’ll be wrapping up some electrical, finishing painting in the houses, and doing another round of mudding in the laundry room and counseling office.

Also, if your group, club, church, or organization would like to jump in and schedule your own work day, we’d love to have you—just reach out and let us know!

Right now, we could really use a few specific skills:
-Carpentry (trimming around windows, doors, and baseboards)
-Tile work for the base of our showers (sides will be inserts)
-Someone to install two 4-foot cinderblock walls where the rebar is

Every helping hand gets us one step closer to opening these first two houses—and moving on to the third. We couldn’t do this without you! 💛

We know it’s been a minute… but we’re back at it!

Join us for a Lifehouse Community workday on Saturday, April 25th from 8AM–3PM. We’ve got some electrical work to tackle and plenty of mudding to do—so there’s no shortage of ways to jump in.

No experience? No problem. Whether you know your way around tools or just know how to show up, we’ve got a spot for you. Community really does change everything—so come be part of building something that makes a difference. !

Let's get our neighbors out of the cold! 🌨️

PLEASE SHARE!!!!!

🚨 Warming Shelter Update — The SHOP (Sweetwater House of Peace)

Due to severe cold weather forecast for the next few days, The SHOP will open its doors as a Warming Shelter for our community.

✅ Opening Tonight: Wednesday, January 21, 2026 — 8:00 PM
✅ Closing: Thursday, January 22, 2026 — 10:00 AM

Then…

✅ Reopening: Friday morning, January 23, 2026 - 10:00 am
✅ Staying Open 24 hours a day through Tuesday, January 27, 2026

📌 On Monday (January 26), we will decide if we will remain open longer depending on how the weather plays out.

This shelter is for anyone who doesn’t have a place to stay or who doesn’t have adequate heat in their home. If you or someone you know needs a warm place to rest, please come to 509 LOCUST.

💛 Sweetwater, we are truly blessed.
We are grateful to be part of a community that shows up, gives, serves, and loves people when it matters most. Every volunteer, every prayer, every donation—it all becomes warmth and hope for someone who needs it.

Sometimes we forget how much of a blessing it is to have something as simple as heat… something we use every day without a second thought. There are people in our own community who are just trying to find a warm place to lay their heads.

Let’s love people well. Let’s meet needs. Let’s be the hands and feet of Jesus.

📖 “Let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.” 1 John 3:18 (NKJV)

If you feel led to help in any way, whether it’s volunteering, donating supplies, or simply sharing this post, thank you.
What we do for the least, we do with love… and it matters more than we’ll ever know.

Please share this so it reaches anyone who needs it. 🙏❄️

Tonight's the last night! We hope to see you there! ❤️

Revival in our city starts with revival in us! So come be part of it tonight at 6:30 for the final night of the City Wide Revival. Carter Edmondson will be bringing a powerful word you don’t want to miss!

We’ll also be taking up a special offering to support the Sweetwater Ministerial Alliance—our local churches linking arms to share Jesus and build His Kingdom right here at home.

And don’t forget, tonight’s the last night to bring coats for our Winter Coat Drive with Coats4Kids! If you’re able, grab a new jacket (any size from 2T up to adult) and let’s make sure every kid and teen in Nolan County stays warm this winter!
