St Mary's "WARRIORS" !

Who says Sundays are for relaxing when there's a chance to serve?

The youth from St. Mary's Egyptian Coptic Church in Savage, MD uprooted rocks, dismantled a furnance, hauled cinderblock, stripped wood and painted ceilings. If our success continues to be measured by how dirty we got, it was another GREAT day!

THANKS ST. MARY'S ! !

(and leave it to our Freecylers--Beth and Kevin--to score a computer for the office!)

What great photos

The Spirit Moves Us!

It was just an amazing day all the way around. We had teams from four congregations: First Lutheran in Ellicott City, St. Mary's Egyptian Coptic in Savage, Mosaic Christian in Hanover, and Bethel Korean in Ellicott City. But there were even more behind the scenes: Emory United Methodist donated tables and furniture. St Peter's Lutheran in Bel Air donated oak pews. And later in the day we had even more volunteers--from churches in Virginia and D.C.! We were blessed with fantastic weather and a seemingly tireless spirit.

THANK YOU ALL for such a productive day. Thanks to Bethel for buying all the pizzas and St Mary's for all the drinks and snacks, and Beth & Ruth for all the home-cooked goodies. And thanks most of all for each of you who put your hand into this work and gave selflessly.
