Grand Opening for Interfaith House

Sunday, September 11th was the Grand Opening of the Interfaith Habitat House at 2234 SE 30th Drive, Gainesville! Everyone enjoyed this celebration of a new home for Habitat homeowner, Regina Stuckey and her family. Her home completed the 30-home Habitat neighborhood in SE Gainesville called Celebration Oaks, which was begun in 2004. And last, but far from least, the Opening celebrated interfaith cooperation among 17 local churches and faith congregations!

The Opening included:
• Ecumenical prayer and musical offering.
• Scripture quotations by representatives of the three participating faiths.
• Presentation to homeowners of a book of holy scriptures from each tradition.
• Ribbon cutting ceremony with homeowner and elected officials
