Summer of Service brings teens together for work week SERVICE continued from page A1

“I felt the Lord lean on me to do something similar here,” he said. “But the camps I had done cost $400 to $500, and not everyone can afford that.” So he approached the EBBC board with his idea to run a local version based out of the church. “They gave me the green light, so we put together a leadership team — five or six folks — and we started planning,” he said. Now, every year, the group puts out notices in the spring inviting people to apply to have their home worked on. After home visits and thoughtful consideration, a dozen or so families are picked, Parker said. Teams are formed, and the process begins. The teens pay $50 each — or $90 per family — to help pay for the program, Parker said. At right, Linda Almendarez, Heidi Hunderup and Samantha Prest, from left, paint a “The adults have given up a wall at a Summer of Service site in Worcester.

We give all the credit to him.” Even though there was no rain, the weather this week was still hot and humid. “It’s been hot, but I didn’t hear one of those kids complain,” he said, and then paused. “I didn’t hear any of the adults complain for that matter either.” Julia didn’t seem to notice that she was working in the hot sun and humidity — or that it was even work.
