This group of volunteers came all the way from Windham, NH to work all week and were able to bless many of us as they worked in various capacities on many homes.
We were also blessed this week meeting the rest of the members of this wonderful group who ministered to us as well. Betty, Dorayne, Jo and Mary Lou we love you guys and enjoyed our time with each of you. We know we have made lifelong friends!
This week Jo used his expertise to install a wireless internet system and a TV antenna in the camp for ministry use that will both be a blessing to our camp volunteers. A laptop computer was donated to the camp as well.
One of our dreams has been to add beauty to the camp property since all of the flower gardens and plants were lost in Katrina. God used Dorayne's training and love for gardening to help with the design and layout of our spring and summer flower gardens and she and Betty also worked to spread the truck load of soil in the beds. We know it will be an awesome sight when the flowers are blooming because it is already quite beautiful!
The group also painted in one neighbors garage, moved a platform and ramp and built a handrail to make a much needed safer entryway into the home of another elderly neighbor. They also installed interior trim work and various other projects in her home. For still another elderly lady they moved a mailbox, repaired a screen door and performed other needed tasks the elderly simply cannot do for themselves. All in all we were all blessed this week by the servanthood of these wonderful people.
We would also like to once again thank the church for their financial support that was used in part to pay the debt on our shower house. What a blessing that was!
We are looking forward to working with all of you again soon!!
