On the days of June 17 to 22, a group of thirteen people from our congregation, Friendship Lutheran Church of Amelia, Ohio, participated in the Group Work Camps Foundation's Week of Hope in Canandaigua, New York. Along with seventy-seven other young people and adult crew chiefs from churches in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Delaware, and Maine, we went out for six hours each day in groups of six to spruce up the homes of widows, plant and clean at the city's enormous Veterans' Administration Hospital, helped a local food bank, spent time with and transported the residents of area nursing homes, and other acts of service in Christ's Name. We also worshiped, learned, had fun, and sometimes, got bored, together. It was awesome! In this and the next several posts, I'll be presenting pics of our group and the crews with which we worked.
