WRapping Up the Week

That's Kyle H. at the end of the roof ridge as he nails in the final cap nails on the tar paper and helps Matt, our new friend, finish off covering the new porch. Friday was a great day on the weather front- the weather was wonderful with temps in the low 80s, low humidity, and a few sprinkles at just the right moments. It was a great day work wise as well. We finished putting down the roof decking, put on the ice guard strip along the edges of the roof, and put down tar paper. I think I can speak for the group in saying that we are very pleased with what we physically accomplished this week.

We concluded our time at the work site with a short worship service. We shared our hopes for the family that will move into this house - decent housing, safety, joy, happiness, an understanding of generosity, a home. We closed by sharing communion using the elements that sustained us through the week, a sandwich bun and Gatorade.

We plan to leave in a couple of hours after loading up the van and breakfast. We're all ready to come home but we also celebrate and give thanks for this week together.
