Community

Community consists of a number of people with something in common that connects them in some way and that distinguishes them from others. 




Dacusville

Dacusville, not much has changed since I was a child
 growing up in this small town.

Some old faces, some new, some have left us way too soon.

New school buildings standing tall, buildings that I never got to walk the halls.
A Dacusville Gold Wave I'll always be, because Dacusville Gold Waves can't be beat. 
Go Purple, Go Gold. 

Still standing are the churches that taught us to spread the Good News,
and they are still teaching and challenging you.
  
A few things have changed,
 we now have three Dollar General Stores, and a few more traffic lights then before, and 
a new community center is now in the old school building. 

Things may continue to change in this small town, 
but what never will, is the way you'll always feel
about growing up in Dacusville. 


Dacusville is my "Home Town", it's the place I was born and raised and continue to live, it's the place I am proud to call home. 



Dacusville is a special place because of the special people, we unite as a community, we stand together, we might be small but we do BIG things..... And I am asking you to do a big thing in a small way.

Foster Care in Pickens County is rising, and there are not enough foster parents to care for the children.  LIFEchurch in our community is building LIFEhouse, "A Dacusville Community, residential safe haven for children of families in crisis; offering loving support and care to children in need of temporary residential care." The project is estimated to cost 2.6 Million dollars but I say we can build it for five dollars. 


"Just Five" Action Plan
Can five dollars really make a difference?
It can in the life of a child, it can build a home. 


Five dollars in your hands can buy one meal, but five dollars in the hands of LIFEhouse can build a home. Will you give this small offering and do a BIG thing? Will you help build LIFEhouse?




A gofundme account has been set up for you to easily donate, please consider what you can do for a child.
