The church body has grown this year. From about 6-8 when we first started going there to over 30 this year. It was a blessing to work side by side with some of the men of the church. We witnessed and help welcome in a new member as well. We were told of the 130 or so families that the church was supporting through the food pantry program. This is possible through the hard work of the church members, and since we do much of their building maintenance, they can concentrate on their own Outreach mission projects.

Our youth sang an impromptu song, Sanctuary, in service when asked. Michaela (sp?) Blain sang several songs for the church. Cathy Copas, Dave Blain and myself were also called up front to sing.

The youth worked digging the trench for the power lines to Ethyl's garage building. They also dug out lawn, installed morape cloth, and covered it with 2" of stones to make a dry walkway from the house to the driveway. Back at the church  they took down an old porch near the kitchen and replaced it with a new one. With very little help they completed these projects on their own.

Another group worked on painting signs, raking leaves, and general clean-up. Though they had the dirtiest jobs, they did them without complaint. Rich Moore worked closely with a couple of the men from Mt. View on repairing pews and general maintenance of the sanctuary.

Fred Andrulat and his team worked on fans and lighting. The Mt. View members had provided the supplies and scaffolding for this project. Since much of the supplies were in place when we arrived, he was able to start right away Monday morning.

Dave Blain and his crew worked on building walls, installing 5 doors (3 single and one double), and 3 windows. The breezeway we have built over the past 3 years is now handicap accessible on both levels, and closed in to keep the cold out in winter. They envision a future with a handicap bathroom in this area as well.

Thank you for your continued support of this project,
