A Perfect Circle....

Our week started in lots of rain, so it only makes sense that we would finish off the week with a very large storm and lots and lots of water!

We managed to get the siding on the back of the building completely done.  Thanks Ian for completing the team on Friday morning!

And Elise got up on the scaffolding to complete the job by caulking!

Jake and Ian helped Tom install the attic steps and door to put the finishing touches on one of the multi-purpose rooms.

Elise and Amy helped finish the windows by putting up the window trim and closing the gaps with caulking.

Lucy came out to offer her support!

Right before the rains came....

We were still working... RIGHT UP to the rains!

And the rains made for a complete circle of the week... starting in rain... and ending in rain...

The paint team continued to work even though it was raining cats and dogs outside!

And somewhere in there Carol made time for a trip to Home Depot :)

But despite the buckets and buckets of rain that fell in a matter of minutes...

We still made the best of it and finished out a great week!

Thank you so much for your concern and your prayers throughout the week.  They meant a world of difference.  We hope that you felt as much a part of this mission through your prayers, support and financial contributions, as we did by actually working. 


We'll close out the week the same way we began - both with rain - and with prayer.

Holy and Loving God, we know that Christ has no body but ours, no hands, no feet on earth but ours, ours are the eyes with which he looks compassion on this world, ours are the feet with which he walks to do good, ours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world.  Ours are the hands, ours are the feet, ours are the eyes, we are his body.  Christ has no body now but ours, no hands, no feet on earth but ours, ours are the eyes with which he looks compassion on this world.  Christ has no body now on earth but ours. Help us to use our bodies, our minds and our hearts to be the body of Christ in this world.  Help us to be carriers of your light to all those we meet.  Grant us the courage to accept change in the ways we can.  Grant us the serenity to accept those things we cannot change.  Grant us the wisdom to see the difference.  Grant us the compassion to live one day at a time, as your body here on earth.  Amen.
