Wow, through your help we did it again! April 16, 2016 proved to be yet another day in which we were blown away at the weather, the volunteers (128 to be exact), and the completed work that the Lord brought us.  Everyone that came out to serve alongside us blew us away with their diligent work, patient when we had to make adjustments and excited to do what we asked of them. Thank you to everyone who came and gave up their Saturday to clean-up the grounds. Each year we are blessed and amazed to see the changes that take place in about 6 hours time!
