My Sister's House

My Sister’s House

When Rhonda Hobbs was the associate pastor at Burks UMC she noticed that many women in the congregation were working women. She had a vision of helping women who are new to or ready to re-enter the job market find the basic skills they would need to become employed. St. Andrews Center has provided space for the ministry of workforce training. All classes and workshops will be led by qualified volunteers and available at no cost. The project team leader is Pat Marshall. A clothes closet has been established for women who might need professional outfits.

Anyone interested in signing up for the new services and receiving updates about the new schedule is encouraged to contact Burks UMC (mysistershouse@burks.org or by calling the church office at 423-842-4219, extension 140.
