Working on the farm

Tara helping Ella, Ranita and Chad supervising, Christina working hard

On Friday we spent the evening at Shepherd's Field where four Philippi Mennonite Church families live. On the farm the families each have some gardens and animals, some of which they share responsibilities of care. One of the shared responsibilities includes cleaning out their sheep barn. Traditionally the Service Adventure unit has helped with the cleanup so we offered our services for the night in exchange for pizza and fellowship. None of our participants were strangers to this type of work since they've each had some farm experience (two growing up on farms). All were willing to take a turn at scooping and shoveling for a little while and enjoyed relaxing after-wards with some delicious home-made pizza.
