At Roosevelt Community Church, we like to do a service project 1-2 sundays a quarter (Every three months). Living in Washington where the weather can be rainy most of the time, the summer is an optimal time to do these. What a Service Project Sunday consists of is RCC closing down the service on Sunday to go out and do service. The city becomes our sanctuary and our neighbors the congregation.
So on this day, June 7th, 2009, we had two service projects that the congregation could choose from: 1) Our ongoing ministry at Evergreen Rehab Center (led by Sam and Sue Mattix this week), and 2) Teaming with the Roosevelt Neighborhood Association and cleaning up a path that connects Verona Street and Kentucky Street. This entailed cleaning up litter through the trail, clearing out shrubs and bushes which blocked a lot of “questionable” activity in the woods along side the trail, and helping to maintain a graffiti wall which was donated by the business for the neighborhood to freely leave their artistic expressions on. Here are some pictures from the day -
