Back to Work

Last weekend we moved about 40 miles, from Paige’s sister’s place in Glendale, AZ to Buckeye, AZ, a farming community west of Phoenix.  We are working with 5 other people on a project for NOMADS (see http://nomadsumc.org/ ).  This specific project involves doing work at two different churches: the Community Church, here in Buckeye, and the Liberty Church, about 4 miles east of here.

Monday and Tuesday Bob and a fellow Nomad removed a plain wooden cross from the church’s south wall and added backlighting to it.   Here is the finished look:

 And, a closer view:

Meanwhile Paige had a chance to learn how to use a pressure washer to clean the office’s exterior as well as hone her carpet shampooing skills.  

Wednesday the whole crew went to Liberty, pressure washing the church’s exterior early in the morning, and painting nearly half of the building during the rest of the day.

This weekend we’re going to Rocky Point, Mexico with Tom and Paula.  They have a home near the ocean that we’ve never seen before.  We’ll do some relaxing, shopping, and eating!
