Artwork Commissioned For Exodus Homes Home Office

Pauline Cooke and Alfred Cooke, long time volunteers for Exodus Homes recently commissioned a portrait of Executive Director Rev. Reggie Longcrier to compliment the United Way agency's office renovation that occurred this year funded by the Beaver Foundation and the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation. The portrait was created by local artist Lindsay Barrick and includes a quote from Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, let us talk this over saith the Lord: No matter how deep the stains of your sins, I can take them out and make you as clean as freshly fallen snow. Even if you are stained red as crimson, I can make you white as snow. If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land." Pauline Cooke explained their desire to do this, "We love Rev. Longcrier, and admire the tremendous impact Exodus Homes has had on this community. We are very proud to be a part of such a great organization."
