Once again the calendar says summer is over and it is time to hit the road for another RVICS project. Even though I said summer is over, when we pulled the RV out of Hartford City, Indiana, and the first couple of days here the temperatures were still 90! In a “metal box” it felt really hot but, like home, we do have an air conditioner-----No, we aren’t roughing it.
Canaan Acres Christian Camp in Louisville, Ohio, is our home for the month of September which in the beautiful rolling hills and farmland in northeastern Ohio. This is a small camp for the East District of the Ohio Nazarene Church. Later this week, we are to learn more of the history and use of the camp from the camp director.
Our team is normally made up of only couples. This time we are a group of 6 couples plus the adult son of one of the couples representing 5 different states. One of the things we enjoy is meeting new, Christian friends. This time there are 5 new people we have not worked with before. But, it is great to re-unite with friends that we have had to say goodbye too previously. Six of the individuals are old friends!
Labor Day was not a day off but indeed a day of labor. The women began by cleaning some cabins. The men began with demolition work on a house the camp acquired on the property (or at least abutting the property) which they wish to rent. The picture of the house (above) does not really show all the work that will be required to get it into “shape”. However, lots of work doesn’t bother any of the men! They were anxious to get started on it.
It is great to be back to work with fellow Christians. What a bond we have together whether we are working, playing or worshipping. We are looking forward to the next 4 weeks!
