This is a letter I received from Lee Mason calling our youth (particularly our boys) into action. Hope to see you there!
Gentlemen of Cornerstone,
I am soliciting your support in helping a co-worker of mine, Mr. JB Patterson, who has ~12 trees down which need to be cut up and made ready for collection. He is a retired Navy Captain who lives on the corner of Wildewood Parkway and St. Andrew's Church Rd (at the end of Pine Needle Ct - first residential street on the right as you come up Wildewood Pkwy from St. Andrew's Church Rd). Originally he asked for my sons' help but it is just too much for so few people. His need has turned into a great opportunity for the young men of Cornerstone to serve the local community and show the light of Christ.
So here's the deal:
1) Time: 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (understanding that there may be morning and afternoon commitments like soccer games and sports practices - just show up when you can)
2) Mr. Patterson will provide pizzas, bottled water, soda, and snacks (including healthy stuff) to keep everybody energized and motivated
3) Please bring gloves, wheelbarrows/handcarts, rakes, shovels, and - if any dads are helping - chainsaws. If you know of other good tools to bring, by all means do so.
As always, safety is paramount. This project will not include contests in dead-weight log-lifting, chainsaw battles, wheelbarrow racing (though maybe so after we're done) and tree climbing abilities. We are here to have fun AND serve simultaneously.
I encourage fathers to participate, although my principle audience for this project is the young men of Cornerstone. I know that this call for assistance is on very short notice, and I understand if you have other commitments. Nevertheless, I look forward to a good turnout for a great cause.
Please let me know yea or nay if you can assist. I can also be reached via cell or text: 301-997-5737.
In His Service,
Lee Mason
