This evening the youth group had a Christmas service project planned at the food bank, but it fell through. So, they did a service project right in our own church. They tore down the sanctuary. This is usually done immediately following Sunday morning service by a team of adults. Many of the teens help regularly, but today they did it all on their own. It's not an easy job; there is a system to follow, and the items are awkward, some heavy, and they have to be safely transported clear to the other end of the building. Their work is much appreciated!
tearing down the stage...
stacking the pieces of the stage on their card and securing them...
stacking the crates that hold up the stage...
hauling the concrete-filled buckets that hold the curtain rods upright...
preparing the curtains for transport down the halls...
They were stacked the wrong way and had to be turned around...
Pastor Scott made a game out of some of the PoC stats to remind the teens why the work of the church is important and fruitful.

These kids are a great example of how to have joy in their work, which happens to be what our current sermon series is about!
