Easton Friends Help Wilton Family
On Saturday, April 20, Easton Friends teamed up with Rebuilding Together (Saratoga County) to help a family in Wilton where three generations pooled their money to buy a home. Projects we worked on included installing sheet rock and a grab bar in the bath and spreading out stones in the driveway. Rebuilding Together provided skilled supervision for our projects.
During the Sunday's worship prior to this day, one of our members spoke of this project as "Meeting for Worship with Attention to Service," indicating that through service we relate to our Creator. As we know that there is that of God within every person, any service we give our brothers and sisters, whether they be Quaker or not, is service we give to God.
A young man who lived in the house also worked with us on the project. He said that because of our generously giving our time, he was motivated to also volunteer with Rebuilding Together to help others as his family had been helped.
