Friends, I wanted to pass this along in case any of you are interested. We've talked about this project a few times and the weekend is here. Frankly, until early this week I wasn't sure how all this was going to come together, but God has done some amazing things with people's hearts and it the funding has materialized. I would encourage you to show up and help out whenever you can on Friday afternoon or Saturday. I'll be working Saturday morning until noon.
