House Renovation – Dwight Gehman’s Team
Hauled dirt into their backyard to make a raised flower bed. Then cleaned and organized the back patio. Cleaned out the basement and plastered the basement walls.
Salvation Army – West Philly – Victor & Ober’s Team
Picked up trash. Fed homeless and senior citizen’s bananas, green beans, corn, bread, carrots, and milk. Then we smashed boxes and cleaned up the dumpster area. We also helped with the little kids. Then painted a hallway and everyone else scraped a dumpster and painted it black.
The Simple Way – Kensington – Dustin’s Team
All day in the sun, cleaning up a city block near the K&A in Kensington. The Simple Way lost a home in the devastating Keingisnton Fire last year. After 7 homes were leveled following the fire, the Simple Way Christian Community (Shane Claiborne’s group) decided to lead the charge in turning the land into a park and urban garden. We were there to help dig out rocks, weed and dig a trench for a water line.
The Simple Way – Kevin’s Team
Joined the above mentioned team.
Children’s Ministry – Rose’s Team
Had bible school again and had 39 kids show up. Had ages infant to 15. Acted out the story David and Goliath. The room is not big enough for all these kids, but we are trying to keep positive. We’ve got this guy JR that is only 15 but helps us run everything and translates all our information. He’s a true blessing for us.
