Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Mrs. Tricia Creasey
ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition has touched the Church Interiors' family once again. Mrs. Tricia Creasey and her family, a teacher at E. Lawson Brown Middle School was selected to receive a new home by Extreme Makeover. Mrs. Creasey teaches at Dylan Hunt's school. Dylan is the son of Theresa Hunt, a longtime employee of Church Interiors. Church Interiors closed our office one day and switched from helping churches to helping with the Extreme Makeover for the Creasey family. Several employees from Church Interiors and Church Interiors Audio and Video helped with the finishing touches for the new home. The show aired on ABC on Jan. 31, 2010.
We have a good news update. Mrs. Creasey is still teaching and responding favorably to her cancer treatments. We all continue to pray for a full recovery.
Note: After a six-year long battle with colon-rectal cancer, Mrs. Creasey passed away on February 9, 2012. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

After The Storm
I was very pleased with the television program last night. I felt like it captured the devastation and the emotion that these good people have gone through. Quite often we see that type of emotion during a dedication ceremony after we have completed a nice renovation.
I have seen tears of joy when stained glass windows have been dedicated to loved ones. I have seen a music minister get emotional after a sound system was installed with visions of what the new system was going to mean to his ministry.

The program last night is what our company is all about . helping people restore their church to which they are so emotionally attached. This renovation business that we are in is about faith, love, trust and memories. You saw that last night on the program. In case you have ever wondered what our mission statement is, that pretty much sums it up.
My hat is off to Dan, Todd, Chuck and Chris for volunteering their time and representing our companies so well. The four of them actually worked around the clock the week of the makeover to make sure that the audio system was installed on time.
Like the program last night, all of our customers have the same type of passion for their own church and their own renovation. Thanks to each of you for making that happen every week.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18.

Words are inadequate at this moment and all I can say is from the depths of my heart and the 1200 adults that were once a part of this ministry and the 300 that is still here and the 250 that are in Baton Rouge, LA. Thank you, we love you and we appreciate you for allowing yourself to be used by God to restore our home. So that we can serve God by service our fellow man, God bless you and God keep you.
Please convey our heartfelt thanks to your staff, and please excuse our tardiness, due to lack of mailing addresses.
Keeping the Vision Walking by Faith
