Team Effort with Impressive Results!

March 22, 2015 Posted by Karen Huxter 7 Comments

The team has almost completed their painting project.  There is a little touch up to finish Monday morning.  A job well done indeed. The team members raised money for Luckner and I to buy the paint and then came down to do the painting.

What a difference inside our church. Wow. From dull dark grey cement to beautiful walls in  two shades of yellow – pale yellow on the walls and a deep yellow, Lovely Lisa, trim, with a white ceiling.  It looks as if the sun is shining inside or someone has turned on some very bright lights.  Noteworthy indeed is the fact that this big job was done without any scaffolding.  It is a good thing that Keith decided to buy Joan a step ladder for her birthday gift as it was put to very good use on this painting job.

Children decided the team effort was paying off

 

A lot brighter already

Lovely Lisa looking good

It will be fun to see the expressions on faces of those who come to church tomorrow morning and again our school students Monday morning.

Ready for church in the morning

Thank you team Lynn, Francine, Tony, Linda, and Tashina.  Thank you Keith and Joan for your various methods of support on this project.  Indeed a team effort that has had impressive results.

~Karen

    She was worth the wait, Keith! She didn't disappoint! I bet as good as it looks in the photo that it is more impressive in person! Thank you to you and Joan along with the team for all the hard work it took to transform this building! Now we will wait to see what Yarmouth Wesleyan Team does to the outside!
