Dedication

The dedication was held at 10 AM February 13, 1999 at the Friendly Temple Church at the corner of Burd and Martin Luther King.

The dedication was for five houses including the Episcopal Habitat Project House, the Edward Jones House (next door), and one of the West County Churches houses (across the street).

After the combined service our group gathered at the house for our own ceremony.
