On Saturday, September 14th, approximately 100 Syrian Christian Church adults and young people gathered together to help improve the Paoli community for a Day of Service. Led by Discipleship Minister Michael Pallotto, members worked diligently to paint, clean, and organize.
Some specific projects included painting and cleaning at the Paoli Family Life Center and at Gateway Ministries, and cleaning and beautification at the local homeless shelter, Addie’s House. In addition, Syrian Christian Church members also worked to clean gutters and do yard work for elderly persons in the community.
With everyone divided into teams, the projects began at 8 a.m. and finished at approximately 1 p.m., followed by a cookout for all of the workers.
