Rise and shine early…and be at the church (Waxhaw United Methodist – 200 McDonald Street) around 7am for a hot and hearty breakfast cooked by the men of the church (we may have a few other “cooks in the kitchen” too)! Once you have nourished your body…someone is gonna have some good words to share to nourish your soul…that’s what we call our “Devotional”. It’s brief because we know that everyone is anxious to get to work! Then the work day instructions are given and all volunteers depart for the various work sites….don’t forget to grab that bagged lunch! Oops…you don’t know about that yet…so listen up…here’s something really important! Between the morning arrival and departure…every volunteer is responsible for making their own brown bag lunch from a selection of provided items! Don’t worry…you’ll see the table and the line and the brown bags being packed…so you’ll know just what to do! Now…back to the day’s schedule…we depart from the church to go to the various work sites. Then we work, work, work til lunch! Around noon, the brown lunch bag is opened and the goodies are eaten right there at the work sites. Sit under the shade tree and get to know someone new while you eat! Then we work, work, work til quittin’ time…that’s around 5pm. We all meet back at the church where a delicious, hot meal awaits…it’s gonna be good because it’ll be made by some excellent cooks (you know, the folks who have the recipes in the church cookbooks)! So…there you have it…a day in the life of a “Fixing It For Christ” volunteer…and you get the opportunity to do that for four whole days!
