Ojai Work Day

Our Ojai Work Day was a smashing success. Click here for the slideshow, or you can always check the links on the right side. We worked really hard that day. We arrived around 9am and got straight to work. We started in the Sanctuary and listened to a pep talk from the church's pastor, Pastor Dan. We then started by picking up trash and vacuuming. We then slowly progressed to weeding the outside area and just cleaning up some areas. In my opinion the hardest part was the shoveling of the gravel. We had to disperse a truck load of rocks to different planters around the church.
While delivering the truck load shovel by shovel, we heard that the local Christian Hip Hop Band, the Reinforcements, was playing at the local Oak View Day celebration. They were a really great band and we had a great time listening to them. Once they finished we started posting flyers all over the city, one of my favorite parts was the boys hanging all the signs by driving around in the van. We got back to the church and the girls started to paint promotional signs for the church's VBS and the boys painted a staircase. It was a really great day and no one wanted to leave when the time had come. If you couldn't make it, sign-up for our other summer events so you can join us in the fun and ministry.
