Today was the (almost) final work day. A few projects need to be completed in the morning, but, for the most part, most projects were finished.

A quick update on the continued projects from Monday:

• The team working at a local home primed and painted a whole garage, and completed repainting the base of the home. The house looks so much better thanks to all the students’ hard work!
• The group working at the Thrift store continued their remarkable progress, finishing painting the floor, completing some new shelves, and re-painting the bathroom. All-in-all, a huge help to the Thrift and, consequently, a huge help to the community that depends upon it!
• The group working upstairs on the lockers continued to do an awesome job. Many students have remarked how many construction skills they have learned this week by working alongside our adult leaders. The cabinets are all built — they just need to be finished painting in the morning. Once the painting is complete, all the moms and their kids will have brand new storage units for their possessions. Truly a remarkable gift, and one that glorifies God.
• The painting crew continued to work around the Roseland center, and the place looks like new.
• The VBS crew had a second day of lessons for the youngsters, and the experience was as much of a blessing as the previous day.
• Finally, a team of a few of the more “artsy” students, plus a few leaders, worked on “beautifying” the Roseland kitchen and back hallway, adding Bible verses and artwork to serve as a daily remainder of who our Lord and Savior is. It looks amazing!

Another great day serving our God. Tomorrow, we will finish up a few jobs, clean, pack, spend some time at the beach, and head home! Your kids can’t wait to see you and tell you all about their experiences.

God bless,

The Roseland Team
