All Hands on Deck!

by Katelyn Marczewski | August 5, 2019 9:24 PM

For our first service project, we scraped, stained, and painted a deck for a sweet woman named Chris. It was hot in the sun, but we all worked hard together and listened to music to make the time go quickly.

While waiting for the kids to arrive on the first day of Vacation Bible School, we played with this giant parachute! We had fun trying to make the beach balls go as high as possible.

Lessons of Creation

by Katelyn Marczewski | August 5, 2019 9:35 PM

We only had three kids attend our VBS today, but that’s no problem! We enjoyed getting to know them and Dave taught the lesson today. We talked to them about how God created the World in six days and rested on the seventh.

This morning we stained the shed at the farmer’s market. We ran out of stain before we could finish the whole thing, so we are going to buy some more and finish up on Thursday morning!

409 to Clean the Gutters

by Katelyn Marczewski | August 6, 2019 9:46 PM

After staining the shed, we visited Miss Hattie and Paul Rudd’s house to help them wash their gutters and the eves of the house. We enjoyed all working together and getting to know Hattie and Paul.

Expert Weed Pullers

by Katelyn Marczewski | August 6, 2019 9:51 PM

We enjoyed pulling weeds and telling jokes together at Miss Hattie and Paul’s house. Even though it is not something we have done very often, we became expert weed pullers by the end of the day. Yes, pulling weeds can be fun sometimes!

Hanging Drywall

by Katelyn Marczewski | August 7, 2019 9:33 PM

Two of us worked with a contractor from West Virginia VOAD to help hang drywall at a construction site! Even though we didn’t get to meet the owners of the house, we know that we still made a difference in their lives.

Finishing Touches

by Katelyn Marczewski | August 8, 2019 4:08 PM

To finish up the deck, we added hand railings so the owner of the house, Chris, can walk up and down easier. We prayed with her before we left, and she gave us a very sweet thank you card.

Saying Goodbye

by Katelyn Marczewski | August 8, 2019 4:10 PM

It was a great week! We made so many new friends in Christ and definitely grew together in our faith. We hope to return next year to continue those relationships!
