A picture of the work camp group from Northwood Christian Church in Indianapolis who is staying in our building September 14-20 while they work on restoring houses in Iowa City, Coralville, and Cedar Rapids. The work group at a flood damaged home in Coralville. Members of the team are from Indianapolis, Indiana; Nevada, Iowa; and Olive Branch, Mississippi. Following is a note from Denise Rogers: Eight eager workcampers arrived early Sunday afternoon at First Christian Church in Coralville, Iowa. We rode through heavy rain and wind until we crossed the Iowa/Illinois border on Interstate 80. We enjoyed a tour of the flooded areas in and around Iowa City. Ladies from the church left us a warm pot of chili to enjoy! Our first day of work included tearing out a bathroom in Coralville along the river. We spent the remainder of the day in Cedar Rapids doing various finishing jobs in a home which had been flooded throughout the entire first floor, layed carpet in a sun porch, and installed two basement windows.

| September 18, 2008 The "Northwood Eight" stayed busy in two locations in the past two days. Some of us drywalled a business while the other half of the group helped a homeowner remove plaster between the lath of several rooms. We have enjoyed our beautiful surroundings at First Christian Church. We have seen deer, rabbits, and wild turkey out of our windows. Some of us have run or walked the area along the river. Wednesday evening there was a pot luck where the church welcomed us with lovely real homeamde pies. We "8" performed a small skit using various props from our work experience. Denise |
