Have you ever walked into a house that has been freshly painted? The smell of a new beginning is undeniable in the air. You know instantly when you walk in that something fresh and new has been created. It's a house that is improving, it's on the uptick, and it's ready for a new occupant.
That's what's happening now with the Gruhn family. Thanks to the hard work of Deb Hartung, Tanya Rsenkranz, Ira Way, Scott Gerhold, Kris Cleveland, Tina McCullough, Greg Young, Catharine Cashner, Terry Shie, Jim Jahnke, Judy Johnson, Marv Quass, Stacie Johnson, Brian, Lindsey, and Pastor Dan, the Gruhn home now smells fresh and new. The crew worked from 8 AM until past noon on Saturday rolling and brushing paint, building a new chain link fence, and enjoying treats and fellowship.
The goal was to prime the entire main floor, but once again, the Holy Spirit soared above and beyond our human plans. Our crew was able not only to finish the prime on Saturday, but put on the first coat of colors as well! If we can get the 2nd coat of paint on in the kitchen in the next few days, the contractor can hang the kitchen cabinets yet this week. (I have to touch base with the contractor's hired man first thing Monday morning to see where we are, because I think he may have done some work after we left Saturday at noon). If you want to help us out, I will open up the house at 8 AM Monday morning for people to start coming in and working whenever they can, for as long as they can. Please let me know when you can help.
