Our Spring work day is set for Saturday, April 20th from 9 through Lunch. We will have various projects to be done and would be honored to have people partner with us for the day. Lunch will be served for all who volunteer. We work hard in the morning and then if you want to stick around to wrap up any unfinished projects that is appreciated. Below is a list of projects that we will be focused on. We may add or change some of the specific projects as we get closer. If there is anyone that would like to participate or even lead any of the projects above, please let us know as we prepare for this day.

The following is the list of what we hope to do and the costs of those projects:

New Fishing Dock Build
Hickory Lodge interior painting
Fishing Dock Repair
Adirondak Chairs
Firewood
New Firepit near Poplar

Another way people partner with us is by sponsoring the workday. Any amount contributed helps us do ministry in other places.

Thank you for your willingness to partner with us. Please call the office at 309-246-4005 if you would like to participate, bring a group or sponsor a project.

Looking forward to working with you,
