On a cold and blustery Saturday morning, December 7, 2024, the Youth Group cleared the autumn leaves from Deacon Joe’s lawn in Pottstown.
Aided by hand-held lawn blowers, they were able to finish the job in about 58 minutes, “a record” per Deacon Joe Dietz.
The gusting wind that morning complicated matters, resulting in some leaves getting blown into a neighbor’s lawn.
But the conscientious yard work team did their best to minimize this, while filling 37 bags of leaves.
The work crew included Christian Wenger, Leo Wenger, and adults Dave Brennfleck, Andrew Gehman, and Kent Wenger.
At the December 8 Sunday service, Deacon Joe thanked the YG team and presented them with a donation toward their summer 2025 Appalachian Service Project (ASP) trip.
