夏のファミリーワークキャンプ

We were blessed with lovely weather for our Summer Work Camp.  Thank you so much to all those who came out to serve in this way.  The major cleaning of the chapel and cabins went nicely and the prep-work for construction on the cabins is now more-or-less complete.  Tomorrow our two volunteers on a short term missions trip from Galilee Presbyterian Church in Singapore will arrive.  They will be staying the week in Joy Cabin so, in preparation for that, Luke and another volunteer will spend the night in said cabin to make sure that all is in order.

On August 5,6 an employee of the forestry union and another forestry worker came in and cut down some of our excess trees that have been crowding our landscape and blocking out the sunlight.  A number of folks brought chainsaws to work camp and got busy with the clean-up.

Sorting garbage that has accumulated over the years.

Washing the fire extinguishers that were used to put out the chimney fire back in January 2014.
