_ The Center for Healing & Hope's Goshen Clinic recently moved from our 8th street location to Plymouth United Church of Christ, 902 S. Main St, Goshen. The host church in our old facility relocated outside of town, which required finding another host congregation in Goshon. Plymouth UCC responded to our need and generously opened its doors to our clinic. Of course this required renovating the basement and second floor, but the community pulled together to make this possible.

James Brubaker of James Brubaker Building & Repair headed the renovation project in a volunteer basis and pulled in volunteers to renovate the new space. Several donations from local businesses supplied us with paint (Snyder Paint), plumbing (Goshen Heating and Plumbing), electric (Shekinah Electric) and data systems (Teledata and Techtable) supplies and more. We also received generous donations from community members and service groups to help cover our costs.

During the last week and a half of February, 48 volunteers generously gave 173 hours of their time to clean and move the clinic and offices to the new location. After being closed Friday morning and Tuesday morning, we gratefully reopened in the new facility by the evening of Tuesday February 28. We are thankful for a quick transition and the community’s support so folks without health insurance can find access to affordable care.

May Prayer Requests . . .
-  When our clinics reach patient capacity, please pray for those we cannot see and
 the staff & volunteers who face these difficult conversations.
-   Only those who truly need the services of our clinics arrive at our doors.
-   We give thanks for committed volunteers and pray more people will compassionately respond to our neighbors in need by joining this ministry.
