This encouragement is from Lee Mason. Thanks to all the folks to served that family in Wildewood. The Lord is good!
My sincerest thank you for the incredible turnout this last Saturday to help Mr. and Mrs. Patterson clear the downed trees from their property. I didn't take an exact count, but I estimate that we cleared out 13 large hardwood and pine trees, including all the branches and clippings. The sheer volume of debris on Wildewood Parkway and on their cul-de-sac is a testimony to everyone's hard work and dedicated service. And we completed all the work in 4 1/2 hours, which is 90 minutes fewer than we originally planned.
I know Mr. and Mrs. Patterson are exceptionally grateful, and what a wonderful way to show God's light in what can (and is) a very dark world. My hat is off to all of you. And to that end I would like to list the Cornerstone members and friends who assisted (not in any particular order):
Eric MacQuilliam
Robert Eby
Luke Hoffman
Austin Dillow
Gabe Mason
Nate Mason
Caleb Fahrner (with dad Carl)
Matthew Eastburg
Hank Rouland (with dad Aaron)*
Carter Harris*
Samuel Harris (both with dad Wade)*
Connor Dittmar
Micah Dittmar (both with dad Josh)
Daniel Leepa*
Christina Sproul
Daniel Shoup
Andrew Whipple
Stirling Brandt
*members of Boy Scout Troop 2819
I want to give special recognition to Hank Rouland as recipient of the Cornerstone Tree Clearing Service "Turn and Burn" Award. Hank put his head down and worked diligently throughout the morning and early afternoon. Great job!
Finally, I want to give Honorable Mention to Sam Perrin, who showed up, unfortunately, right as we finished the last tree-clearing. Though he missed out on the fellowship and service project, he will have other opportunities to show some "sweaty spirituality" in the weeks to come. More to follow, brothers!
In Christ,
Lee Mason
