House Blessing

You’re invited to celebrate the Blessing of New Home with the Jackson family Saturday, June 12. The blessing will take place at 2:00pm, followed by an open house until 5:00pm. Feel free to come and drop in even for a few minutes as we celebrate this happy occasion! Our house is located at 323 Hill Street in Hamilton, directly behind Hamilton Baptist Church.

The Home-Owning Priest

Yes, it’s official, we are finally homeowners again! After a long waiting period to sell our house in Savannah, we finally closed on our house last Friday, thanks to the work of our realtor Bob Patterson.

As you have seen and probably heard, the house we bought is an historic house, built in 1915. It has a rich history in Hamilton, with many people knowing the Shafer family who lived there for many years. Some folks have even given us history that pre-dates the Shafer’s, which we hope to learn more about. Despite it’s age, the house is in great shape and needs a bit of work, which we are rushing to get done in the next few weeks before we move in. We have already had one paint party, and are having another this Saturday from 9:00 to 3:00. Read more
