Home Cooked Goods Auction!

Friday, March 16th we had our annual Home Cooked Goods Auction. We raised funds for our upcoming mission trip to Dillingham, Alaksa, July 13th-27th. We will be adding the finishing touches to the parsanage that we began last summer.

The auction was a huge success. We had many attendees, and a wide range of delicious home cooked goods. Everything was bidded on and taken home!




"The Great Petenders", Frank and Anni Kievitt performed a variety of music ranging from Dean Martin, Willie Nelson, Buddy Holly, to Patsy Cline.

Work Day! February 18, 2012

Last Saturday,  a group of ten headed out to All the King's Horses Children's Ranch in Benson for a work day. www.atkhchildrensranch.org

Several of the team joined a crew and helped in the construction of a porch for the Chuck Wagon. While a few other members helped tackle the landscaping.

The weather was wonderful and the time flew while we were working. Soon it was lunch time and they prepared and served a delicious meal for all.


Moving the pony pen
Building the porch
After lunch everyone present came together to move a pony pen closer to the barn. The decisions was made to have everyone spread out and take a section of the pen while it was constructed and in unison we would all lift it up and carry it to the new spot. There were fifteen long metal sections to this circle. It was amazing to see a group of people come together with one goal in mind! The pony pen got moved all in one piece! They are expecting their first horse within the next week.
