All ten of them came as a crew, right on time at 10 am on Saturday August 27, eager and ready to work. And by the time they left at 2 pm the place was transformed! Hallways, ceiling vents, back windows, our main stairwell, and the entire north wing including the Prayer Room had been vacuumed and scrubbed clean. The whole back wall of the common room in the north wing – the former site of Rochester Youth Outreach (RYO) and its colorful mural – had been repainted, a big shrub tree in the back yard pruned way back, our dumpster area fence repaired, and the whole place cleaned up and dumpster filled with prunings and refuse. We even had time for a tasty lunch together and an animated tour of the His Branches ministry facilities.
What a gift! Thank you Caitlin, Amanda, Angela, Anna Lisa, Addison, Daron, Hilda, Julia, Kim, Stephanie and the entire Father’s House congregation for your wonderful generosity and sweet spirit. You’re all welcome back anytime!
