The Church Has Left The Building

 Each year our church has an event called Sharefest, it is a time when all the Life Groups in the church get together and help out in the community. There are groups that help with homes in the city who have code violations and can't afford the repairs themselves, groups help at the salvation army organizing donations, and groups that help out at any other place that needs help in the 10 mile radius around our church. Our life group got to help out at the Heritage Farmstead Museum. It was a very neat place and the kids loved coming to help out too, because they got to see all the farm animals.

Here is the house at the museum, we didn't actually work on the house but in areas surrounding the house. This museum is nice because it shows how a farm worked in the late 1800's and they still run it that way (but it's not actually a working farm).

At the Meusem our group helped with the gardening, we were pulling weeds, planting flowers, and triming bushes.

 Along with gardening we also helped fix up the main enterance and chicken coop. That included taring down a plastic roof, ripping down and replacing new siding, and adding gutters.
