Work Days

A team including members of Grace and Peace Fellowship and others got plenty accomplished at a workday this past Saturday. Several of us worked on the new Cornerstone project, clearing out junk and debris from the two-family building purchased six months ago. Cornerstone is gathering funds to be able to rehab it into three apartments, two suitable for residents from the Grace and Peace Winter Shelter.

Groups finished the work of chopping and chipping a big old tree that fell down last year, and tidied the landscaping on Etzel Street.

Several groups are finding Cornerstone to be a great mission trip opportunity. We got some wonderful help over spring break this year! To the left is a team from Grace Church in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

And InterVarsity students from Iowa and St. Louis University (below) helped us out too. Thanks so much, folks! What a great ministry opportunity for you, and a huge boost for us!
