City School Work Day

This past Saturday, 15-20 men from All Saints spent the day serving our friends at City School. We did some general landscaping and grounds maintenance, but our main project was building a deck behind their administrative building (if you are familiar with City School, that's the old house on the east side of the property). José Corea, who sends his children to City School and owns a construction company that specializes in outdoor living spaces, designed the deck and oversaw our construction efforts. And while the job was bigger than most of us anticipated, the deck was 95% complete when we left at 5:30. What was once a muddy patch of grass and mostly unused space is now a place where students and teachers will be able to gather for years to come. 

This was the first project for the freshly-minted City Team. If you are interested in learning more about City School or getting involved in other local mercy ministries, please contact me at matthewpipkin@gmail.com.
