Rake 'N Run

Today our youth group went out in the community to rake leaves in yards that needed it. We did this for free as an evangelistic outreach. Thankfully the weather was a little nice; cold and no rain.
We were able to do 3 yards in just a little under 2 hours, not bad considering how many hands we had to help, and the 12 bags of leaves we disposed of. We would have had more bags, but one guy wanted his four, and we raked alot of leaves in the streets for the city to come and take care of.
This was a fun thing to do, and the kids enjoyed themselves, especially when they got to jump in the leaves.
