A Day Off

// July 16th, 2010 // No Comments » // News

Friday has traditionally been a day to take off and do something fun for the SERVE participants. For Muskegon SERVE, that means a day at the Grand Haven State Park, with its beautiful beach and picturesque pier. The beach is connected to downtown Grand Haven via a nice walk along the Grand River (Grand Haven is where the Grand empties into Lake Michigan). Both the riverwalk and downtown boast various sights, artwork, and some good shopping.

Alas, today was a red flag day at the beach, which means “there is the potential for rip currents, powerful currents that can pull swimmers out into deep water.” Consequently swimming was ruled out, so most of the participants took the opportunity to explore around town. Even though Muskegon SERVE is fast coming to a close, keep checking back for photos from the day off as well as the last few videos.

Thanks!

Our worksite coordinator recently received this e-mail from our contact with the City of Muskegon Heights:

On behalf of the City of Muskegon Heights, I wish to thank you and your crew members from Calvin Church for the hard work and dedication this week on the various projects in the City. It was very much appreciated. Cleaning the lots, constructing ramps, painting and other tasks made a difference in the lives of others. Thank you.

I wish them all a safe trip back to their hometowns where, hopefully, they can continue their good deeds.

Lots of all of the above when several groups tackled cleaning up various vacant lots. Fortunately the popsicles came with corny jokes and the kids brought their sense of humor.

Beige on white – not exciting but greatly appreciated by the future residents of this Rescue Mission transitional house. The team even seems to have gotten most of the paint on the walls instead of each other
