My father once said, "He who chops the wood is twice-warmed".
Forty-plus of our church family gathered on our twenty-three acres for a work day, preparing for our first of four services we call "church on the grounds".
It's not much fun, as far as work goes. Weedeating, mowing, deadheading roses, cleaning the Victorian (church office complex), manicuring the grounds, setting up chairs, taking things to the dump, etc.
But we didn't advertise it as fun. We said it was a work day.
And people came, worked hard...and had fun.
When we sit together tomorrow under the blue sky and on chairs on neatly-maincured grounds, there will be at least forty of us warmed in more ways than one.
