PHOTO OF THE DAY: PAINTING PARTNERS

Blake Stahl from Freeman and Martin Ybema from Hopkins, Michigan help paint the Leona Streyle home in Menno earlier this week. The two teenagers are part of a larger service project through the Reformed Mission Services, which partners youth volunteers with churches and communities across the country, and vice-versa. Twenty seven teenagers and five adult chaperones have spent the week in Menno and other communities helping those in need. The effort is being coordinated through the Zion Reformed Church of Menno.
