This
morning was spent pulling up bricks beside the sidewalk at Prince of Peace. It
was hard work, but we powered through and got almost the entire job done before
lunch. It was extremely frustrating to get so close to finishing only to run
out of time. We met the Parish Administrator and a few others members of the
church who all thanked us for our work.
We also
caught a brief glimpse of the Cherry Tree Club program when the bus arrived
with the kids while we worked outside. I think it would have been nice to spend
some time really talking about the Cherry Tree Club and maybe get a chance to
ask questions to the workers and volunteers just to get a more complete picture
of what the Cherry Tree Club is.
After
lunch, we drove down the road to St. Paul’s and were met by Pastor Lydia. After
a quick tour and some introductions, we car-pooled into Hightstown to see RISE.
We spoke with Leslie Koppel, and then walked the few blocks to the Rise Thrift
Store. There, we did a short walk around and a few of us made purchases. We bid
farewell to Leslie and walked to our cars to drive back to St. Paul’s for
closing devotion.
