STUMPJUMPING & SANDSTORMS: Members of WPC, St. Matthew's and Scout Troop 125 came together on Saturday April 7th for an incredible day-before-Easter work day. Sand was removed from the parking lot, flowers were planted, the playground was raked, stone walls were rebuilt, gravel mounds were moved and one great big ornery tree stump was pulled out of the ground. Part of this band of volunteers first spent time doing cleanup at St. Matthew's cemetery before joining this work in progress. The day was a great mix of participation, conversation, calculation and exertion. Thanks to every one of you that pitched in. Thanks for your time, talent and tools.True fellowship was evident as you prepped the property for a glorious Easter Sunday.
