Building Benches and Other Good Things

A blessed Ascension day to you. May you and the world know peace this day, and hear within ways to make peace and good things for others.

I have below some pictures of a recent community wood work project at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in Olympia WA. An inter-generational group gathered to build four benches, to be placed out among the church grounds as enticing places for neighbors to sit, rest and dwell awhile under the beautiful trees. A beautiful spirit of learning and cooperation and joy was in the air.

Classic Chevy for the lumber mission!

These guys knew what they were doing!

Sanding the wood smooth.

Lots of holes to drill for the bolts.

The precision team.

Finishing in the sun, enjoying coffee and conversation.

Four sturdy benches finished.
