HOUSE RULES
ACTIVITIES
1
GO TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY MORNING
2
DEVOTIONAL AND BIBLE STUDY
All residents must want to make a change in their lives and live by the house rules. If a person does not follow the rules, it will be assumed she doesn't want to change and will be asked to leave the house. The main purpose is to provide NOT JUST a place to stay but a place to GROW spiritually. Give yourself time to adapt. If you want change, it will be painful but worth it.
