Leaf Raking Project

Today, 24 of us from the Village Church of Barrington assembled at the 2 acre home of an older lady who had lived in the house since 1946, and we raked her leaves as a service project by two of our church's small home groups (click to enlarge photos).

The weather cooperated, with bright sun and mid-fifties temperature...

Many hands (and rakes) made fast work of the 2 acres of fallen leaves...

The grateful woman supplied cider and donuts for the workers, which was much appreciated...

About 55 bags were filled and placed near the road for pickup next week...

Here are some of the volunteers along with "the lady of the house" (third from left)...

Success!!!!!
