A Concert of Construction is here…Calling All Trades!

Posted on by

Calling all trades…

If you have skills in carpentry, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, flooring, painting, or you are able and willing to do manual labor, WE NEED YOU NOW, MORE THAN EVER. We are in the process of fitting up 515 Main Street. We have approved plans prepared by a registered architect, Patrick Slattery of Lunenburg. We have a licensed carpenter, electrician, plumber and HVAC contractor who are heading up their respective trades. But WE NEED YOU TOO. We have a deadline that we can only meet with a “concert of construction.” Now with the word “concert” we are not referring to a musical performance. Playing a violin will not fitup the clinic! We are using the word “concert” here to refer to the “working together in a common plan.” Many hands make light work! If you can help us in any way, please send an e-mail to David Bodanza by filling out the Care Net Construction Project Volunteer form below.

  • Be a Table Sponsor and/or a Table Host for the Annual Banquet
  • Be the Link 2 Life Connection at your church.
  • Volunteer at the Center to work as a peer counselor, in the office, or as a member of a task force planning this year’s banquet.
  • Start a baby bottle drive at your church.
  • Let us know how we can better inform and encourage your church.

Life on Main Street!

Posted on by

As our Burbank Hospital professional building was being sold, we knew we had to relocate. But where? As we looked at several locations, we knew that a good location at a reasonable cost is crucial for this ministry. After much searching and much prayer, we unanimously concluded that 515 Main Street in Fitchburg is the place to be. Thanks be to God, we signed a fair and reasonable lease for the location earlier this year. Since then, we diligently pursued the complex process of relocating this licensed medical clinic to downtown Fitchburg. The three P’s are key in the government permitting process: Precision, Perseverance and Patience. But it is really a fourth P that is over all: Providence, God’s providence! We are so happy about the ministry opportunities that are now before us as life comes to Main Street.
