Inner City Church Project

Yesterday a group of Lakeside Guys spent the day at Inner City Church preparing a room to be used as a food pantry. Kenny Hayes, Michael Weed, Ronald Fister, Charlie Bunn, Ray Ortega, Donovan Dufrene and I spent the day needling each other and working real hard in 100 degree weather. (Yes, mother, we drank plenty of water.) We laid carpet tiles and built shelves and counters. At the end of the day we were worn out, but the change was remarkable. Thanks to every guy who went and gave up a Saturday to help another church. I know that everybody is busy and that Saturdays are precious, so their time contribution is outstanding. That is the heart that is beginning to grow at Lakeside/Highpointe. Also, a special shout-out to Kenny for harassing guys till they committed, and to Michael for applying his lifeskills to this project. It wouldn't have happened without either guy.
