It seems like we have been here longer, but today is our first full day. It has been an active one. The kitchen remodel was highest on Pastor Tori & Robert's priority pole. Don, Adam, Bob & Glen made up the demolition team. A cloud of dust and the better part of the day later and the wall came tumbling down.
Meanwhile, Diane and Lucille worked the meal circuit and continued with VBS prep. Tracy, Wendy and Kelsey weeded, trimmed and transformed the outside of the church. Paula and Gracie were able to connect today with family members who live in Anchorage. This was a very productive, feel-good day; a day of bonding for the 1st Church Team. Pastors and parishioners have been streaming in and out encouraging us all with heart-filled feedback.
Tomorrow we will take the day off to celebrate our independence. Yet, there is something very positive in the feeling of interdependence we are experiencing as we join together to served and be served by others who share our faith in the message of love.
