And the answer is…… 15,000 steps by Sonia Reeve!! If you are looking for the question, it is the previous day’s post.  Tune in tomorrow for the walking winner of July second.


The workers at St. Paul Lutheran Church sorted recyclables today and the workers raised roughly $250 for the church, because aluminum cans, glass and plastics can all be recycled and are worth so much per pound. They also were able to clean out the garage to enable a new door to be put in as well as cutting down dead tree branches to make the area look better.

Today at Hope Memorial Lutheran Church, the group had an unfortunate eye opening experience when they saw a homeless woman eating day old pizza out of the dumpster behind the church. The church elder said that sometimes another lady takes showers in the church’s lawn sprinklers. The Team continued their experiences by canvassing as well as planning for Bible School next week.

The group at Faith Lutheran Church had multiple work projects this week some of which were reorganizing the Manna House, digging up sod so the church can put down astro-turf, chopping wood for disposal, and unloading food supplies for the Manna House. The group showed their muscles by unloading food supplies that` consist of 1750 lbs. of onions, 1330 lbs. of carrots, 74 gallons of water, and 315 gallons of Fuze fruit juice. This is part of the continuing outreach to the community around Faith.

At Christ Lutheran Church today, the team continued to canvass the neighborhood passing out flyers inviting families to come to VBS. They then moved on to preparing for next week’s session by practicing skits and songs. Afterwards, they studied the scripture about the flood (Genesis 6-8).
