For four days last week, from 6am to 6pm, volunteers from GCC began to renovate a newly purchased building in downtown South Bend. Up until now, part of this building, known as the Monroe Circle Community Center (MC3), was being used to feed over 300 low income families twice a month. Not only will that continue, but the newly renovated section of the building will be used to start an alternative school known as The Crossing. The kids that will attend this school are the most marginalized. They are the kids that have been suspended and/or expelled or in other words, the kids that nobody wants. It is a great opportunity to bring the love of Jesus to them. The picture shows a phase of the construction from last Friday, Oct. 6th. I look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead at MC3, both with families and students.

Do you have any blisters? How about nasty little splinters that you have to dig our with the tip of your utility knife. Any cuts or bruises? Lynn and Joel have experienced them all. Just part of the job. Just think, you are working with wood like Jesus did before He was called to do what He was born to do. It's holy work!
