The misty rain and the snarled traffic could not stop people from gathering for the Ground Blessing for the Bill Martin Habitat House on September 24.  The framing was going up when the workers paused for lunch and the ground blessing.  They were joined by the Martin family, some who had traveled from other states, congregation members from Springdale and other Mid-Kentucky Presbytery churches, the family advocate, and the family–Breshia and Keith.  The children from A Place to Call Home elementary class shared a choral reading as a part of the ground blessing.  Breshia and Keith shared their thanks for the partnership and the group prayed blessing upon each nail and board and upon the home it would become.  Thanks be to God!

Building continue each weekend.  Check out the Habitat Group on the Springdale Facebook page.  Note that the youth will be painting on October 29th!

On September 18, Springdale threw a Party in the Parking Lot with the community.  Everyone was welcomed and signed up for door prizes and then moved on to eat nachos, homemade cookies, and hot dogs or check out the Afla Romeo Car Show.  They relaxed to the rhythms and sounds from the 60s to today provided by Moondance and Silly Putty and delighted in the Latino dancers dancing traditional Mexican and Mayan dances.  Everyone checked out the fire truck from Worthington Fire Department.  Children and youth could be found hopping on the inflatable, getting their face painted, watching the magician, playing tag football, or enjoying the playground.  The shed the elementary children help build for the Bill Martin Habitat House was put up so that everyone could sign it with blessings.  A whole grocery cart of food was collected for Eastern Area Community Ministries.  There was laughter and dancing, conversation, and community.  It was a great time for everyone to enjoy being together.
