Our five Saturdays of on-site outdoor work has finished. But our youngest crew members still want to come back! Demolition, as it turns out, is pretty gratifying. Here's a look at our last week, followed by an overview of the entire August Dog Days project. Thanks to all the volunteers who came out. The Lord hand-picked you to really be a blessing to us this month. The work done on Harmony House (our OM guest house) was an unexpected and much-needed gift from Northside Baptist Church. And everyone else who participated has been equally appreciated. We love our volunteers!

Dog Days: Week 2
One of the hottest days of the summer so far provided clear skies for some outdoor projects. Helping in Harmony House were handymen from Northside Baptist Church along with a regular volunteer from Southside church in Peachtree City. Harmony House is a guest house here on the OM campus which has been in need of repair. The men found even more projects there and have signed on for additional Saturdays! Thanks, guys.
Also helping out were some first-time volunteers painting the parking lot. They, too are coming back for more. And finally, OM staffers cleared in and around the retention pond. Whew! (It was hot.)
Take a look at our day of fun, then bring your own group out tomorrow from 9-3. Forecast is partly cloudy.

Dog Days Week 1: Junkyard Dog Days
Dog Days 2009 started off with a moving day. Old furniture was removed from a farm house on the campus to make way for the structure's demolition. Pieces had to be flattened to fit in the super-sized rental dumpster. Can you say sledgehammer?! Join us any Saturday this August for more adventures -- and bring your yard tools!
