This Thursday - Last Park Night!

This week we will be meeting at Daniels Park for our Thursday gathering. Folks plan to be there by 5:30-ish, but show up whenever you'd like. Feel free to bring your own food to grill. We'll sing a few songs and have a brief devotional by Leah Romaneli at 7:30.

A map is in the following link. From H Ave NE, go north on Oakland Rd NE (Oakland is a one-way). Take the northmost (second) entrance into the park. We'll be at the upper pavilion.

Hope to see you all there!

*Friday Update* Service Project: August 14th

Fri Update: About 10-15 people made it out to Springville and, somewhat surprisingly, we were able to do a good amount of cleaning and put a first coat on about half of the shed. We will need to put another coat on, as well as paint the other half. The plan is to meet at Maranatha at 8:30am on Saturday, and head out to Springville and work on it until it's done. If you're able to join us, that would be great. Thanks!

Thu Update: The radar is showing rain for this evening (Aug 14), but we're going to try our luck. We may not get to paint, but we'll do some more prep work at least (power-washing, etc). We may not stay as long as planned though, so if you were planning to come late you should still call Joe (431-9495) and see what's up.

Check back again tomorrow (Friday) to see if we'll be painting on Saturday!

Next Thursday (August 14th) is our next service project! This month, we're going to be going out to Chris Thompson's parents' house to do some painting and possibly housework. His parents are older and not in the best of health, so this is a good way to help them out and minister to them.

We will primarily be painting a shed, but before painting we'll need to power wash the shed to erase some chalky film deposit. In order allow as much time as possible, we'll be meeting at Maranatha at 5pm, however if you can't make it that early, you can meet us "on location" whenever you're available -- we'll be there till 8:30 or 9pm probably.

After it gets too dark to work (or when we get our task done), we will hang out for a while and enjoy some smores. :-)

Here's a link to directions from Maranatha Bible Church. And here's a satellite view of the yard -- the shed is the larger building northeast of the house.
